The RAPIDS data science framework is designed to have a familiar look and feel to data scientist working in Python. Here’s a code snippet where we read in a CSV file and output some descriptive statistics:
import cudf
gdf = cudf.read_csv('path/to/file.csv')
for column in gdf.columns:
print(gdf[column].mean())
