RAPIDS Overview

What is RAPIDS?

The RAPIDS suite of open source software libraries and APIs gives you the ability to execute end-to-end data science and analytics pipelines entirely on GPUs. Licensed under Apache 2.0, RAPIDS is incubated by NVIDIA® based on extensive hardware and data science science experience. RAPIDS utilizes NVIDIA CUDA® primitives for low-level compute optimization, and exposes GPU parallelism and high-bandwidth memory speed through user-friendly Python interfaces. RAPIDS also focuses on common data preparation tasks for analytics and data science. This includes a familiar dataframe API that integrates with a variety of machine learning algorithms for end-to-end pipeline accelerations without paying typical serialization costs. RAPIDS also includes support for multi-node, multi-GPU deployments, enabling vastly accelerated processing and training on much larger dataset sizes.

What do you like best about RAPIDS?

Sometimes, in classical Machine Learning, the speed offered by the PyData ecosystem is simply not fast enough. Tools like Dask and Vaex help and running jobs on a Spark cluster is often a neat solution as well, but sometimes you need a bit more than that.

That's where Rapids and the whole Rapids ecosystem comes in. While they aren't drop in replacements for Pandas, Numpy and Scikit-learn, cudf and cuml help in building out Tabular machine learning on GPU's very effectively. Their API is mostly similar to the PyData ecosystem and while interoperability is sketchy it is very much possible.

Rapids also makes running on a Distributed GPU cluster, a difficult task for tabular algorithms fairly easy to do. And its memory management texhniques with Apache Arrow ensures that aspect smoothly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RAPIDS?

Setting up Rapids outside of managed clusters is not a simple task. While install with pip is possible, its a bit of a hail Mary. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it pretends to work and fails in some catastrophically stupid and unpredictable ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RAPIDS solving and how is that benefiting you?

RAPIDS is helping us solve the problem of running Tabular workloads on GPUs without having to depend on a closed proprietary solution. RAPIDS help to scale out loads to Distributed GPU clusters without having to rewrite everytime Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
