GPU Driven Data Wrangling Using CuDF

As the volume of data continues to grow, there comes a time where CPU-based data processing may struggle to provide consistent results within reasonable time. This is where GPU computing comes into play, where the graphical processing units are leveraged to revolutionize data manipulation and analysis. In this chapter, we will explore CuDF, a GPU-accelerated data manipulation library that integrates well with the existing Python ecosystem. Before we jump into CuDF, let us also review the architecture of CPU- and GPU-based computations and concepts of GPU programming.
