SciRuby/rbcuda

RbCUDA

The main objectives of RbCUDA are:

  1. Map all of CUDA into Ruby
  2. Ready-made on-GPU linear algebra, reduction, scan using cuBLAS, cuMath, cuSolver libraries.
  3. Random Numer generator using cuRand
  4. Near-zero wrapping overhead.
  5. CUDA profiler for Ruby.

In the near future:

  1. fast-fourier transform(cuFFT)
  2. Parallel Primitives and Data Structures(Thrust)
  3. Image processing (NVIDIA Performance Primitives Library).
