I am currently working on a project in python, and I would like to make use of the GPU for some calculations.
At first glance it seems like there are many tools available; at second glance, I feel like im missing something.
Copperhead looks awesome but has not yet been released. It would appear that im limited to writing low-level CUDA or openCL kernels; no thrust, no cudpp. If id like to have something sorted, im going to have to do it myself.
That doesnt seem quite right to me. Am I indeed missing something? Or is this GPU-scripting not quite living up to the hype yet?
Edit: GPULIB seems like it might be what I need. Documentation is rudimentary, and the python bindings are mentioned only in passing, but im applying for a download link right now. Anyone has experience with that, or links to similar free-for-academic-use GPU libraries? ReEdit: ok, python bindings are infact nonexistant.
Edit2: So I guess my best bet is to write something in C/CUDA and call that from python?

Installation: First, make sure that Nvidia drivers are upto date also you can install cudatoolkit explicitly from here. then install Anaconda add anaconda to the environment while installing. After completion of all the installations run the following commands in the command prompt.
PyCUDA provides very good integration with CUDA and has several helper interfaces to make writing CUDA code easier than in the straight C api. Here is an example from the Wiki which does a 2D FFT without needing any C code at all.
