(source: docs.rapids.ai)
cuML is a suite of GPU-accelerated machine learning algorithms designed for data science. Its API is similar to scikit-learn, allowing users to leverage the familiar fit-predict-transform paradigm without needing to write GPU-specific code. cuML offers significant performance improvements, being 10-50x faster than CPU-based alternatives for many workloads. It supports over 50 algorithms across various machine learning categories, including clustering, regression, and classification. For scaling, cuML provides multi-GPU and multi-node support through Dask, enabling it to operate on large clusters. Users who experience long processing times with scikit-learn, umap-learn, or hdbscan are likely to benefit from cuML, as its equivalent estimators …
