GPU Accelerated data plotting in Python

Question

I have a general question regarding using CUDA acceleration in Python. Is it possible to accelerate the plotting of data generated by matplotlib command using CUDA ? Any weblinks/documents/examples are much appreciated.

Answer 1

Maybe not with CUDA, but if you are interested in harnessing the power of your GPU, check out Vispy. From the Vispy page:

"Vispy leverages the computational power of modern Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) through the OpenGL library to display very large datasets".

And it does that very nicely: : http://screencast.com/t/e16BG1iccdw
