RAPIDS is a high-level framework built on top of CUDA to address specific domains, particularly data science, machine learning, and analytics.

 It includes components like:

  • cuDF: A pandas-like library for dataframe operations, powered by Libcudf++ 
  • cuML: A scikit-learn-like library for machine learning algorithms, built on CUDA primitives.
  • cuGraph: A library for graph analytics, leveraging GPU-optimized graph algorithms.
