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())

RAPIDS Memory Manager (RMM) is a central place for all device memory allocations in cuDF (C++ and Python) and other RAPIDS libraries. In addition, it is a replacement allocator for CUDA Device Memory (and CUDA Managed Memory) and a pool allocator to make CUDA device memory allocation / deallocation faster and asynchronous.
BlazingSQL is an open source project providing distributed SQL for analytics that enables the integration of enterprise data at scale. RAPIDS is actively contributing to BlazingSQL, and it integrates with RAPIDS cuDF, XGBoost, and RAPIDS cuML for GPU-accelerated data analytics and machine learning.
