CUDAMat: a CUDA-based matrix class for Python

The feature set of CUDAMat is biased towards providing functionality useful for implementing standard machine learning algorithms, however, it is general enough to be useful in other elds.

Abstract

CUDAMat is an open source software package that provides a CUDA-based matrix class for Python. The primary goal of CUDAMat is to make it easy to implement algorithms that are easily expressed in terms of dense matrix operations on a GPU. At present, the feature set of CUDAMat is biased towards providing functionality useful for implementing standard machine learning algorithms, however, it is general enough to be useful in other fields. We have used CUDAMat to implement several common machine learning algorithms
