======== GPUStats

gpustats is a PyCUDA-based library implementing functionality similar to that present in scipy.stats. It implements a simple framework for specifying new CUDA kernels and extending existing ones. Here is a (partial) list of target functionality:

• Probability density functions (pdfs). These are intended to speed up likelihood calculations in particular in Bayesian inference applications, such as in PyMC

• Random variable generation using CURAND

Requirements

• NumPy
• SciPy
• Working PyCUDA (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycuda) installation
• (optional) PyMC, for test suite

Installation and testing

To install, run:

::

python setup.py install

If you have nose installed, you may run the test suite by running:

::

import gpustats
gpustats.test()

Use

::

import gpustats

Some development guidelines

• Use spaces (4 per indent), not tabs
• Trim whitespace at the end of lines (most text editors will do this for you)
• PEP8-consistent Python style
