Accelerated Python: The Community and Ecosystem

Python is everywhere. Simulation, data science, and Gen AI all depend on it. Unfortunately, the dizzying array of tools leaves a newcomer baffled at where to start. We'll take you on a guided tour of the vibrant community and ecosystem surrounding accelerated Python programming. Explore a variety of tools, libraries, and frameworks that enable efficient computation and performance optimization in Python, including CUDA Python, RAPIDS, Warp, and Legate. We'll also discuss integration points with PyData, PyTorch, and JAX communities. Learn about collaborative efforts within the community, including open source projects and contributions that drive innovation in accelerated computing. We'll discuss best practices for leveraging these frameworks to enhance productivity in developing AI-driven applications and conducting large-scale data analyses.
