Accelerate your Python code on the GPU using CUDA, Numba, and modern libraries to solve real-world problems faster and more efficiently.
Key Features
- Build a solid foundation in CUDA with Python, from kernel design to execution and debugging
- Optimize GPU performance with efficient memory access, CUDA streams, and multi-GPU scaling
- Use JAX, CuPy, RAPIDS, and Numba to accelerate numerical computing and machine learning
- Create practical GPU applications, from PDE solvers to image processing and transformers
Book Description
Writing high-performance Python code doesn’t have to mean switching to C++. This book shows you how to accelerate Python applications using NVIDIA’s CUDA platform and a modern ecosystem of Python tools and libraries. Aimed at researchers, engineers, and data scientists, it offers a practical yet deep understanding of GPU programming and how to fully exploit modern GPU hardware.
You’ll begin with the fundamentals of CUDA programming in Python using Numba-CUDA, learning how GPUs work and how to write, execute, and debug custom GPU kernels. Building on this foundation, the book explores memory access optimization, asynchronous execution with CUDA streams, and multi-GPU scaling using Dask-CUDA. Performance analysis and tuning are emphasized throughout, using NVIDIA Nsight profilers.
You’ll also learn to use high-level GPU libraries such as JAX, CuPy, and RAPIDS to accelerate numerical Python workflows with minimal code changes. These techniques are applied to real-world examples, including PDE solvers, image processing, physical simulations, and transformer models.
Written by experienced GPU practitioners, this hands-on guide emphasizes reproducible workflows using Python 3.10+, CUDA 12.3+, and tools like the Pixi package manager. By the end, you’ll have future-ready skills for building scalable GPU applications in Python.
What you will learn
- Understand GPU execution, parallelism, and the CUDA programming model
- Write, launch, and debug custom CUDA kernels in Python with CUDA
- Profile GPU code with NVIDIA Nsight and optimize memory access
- Use CUDA streams and async execution to overlap compute and transfers
- Apply JAX, CuPy, and RAPIDS to numerical computing and machine learning
- Scale GPU workloads across devices using Dask and multi-GPU strategies
- Accelerate PDE solvers, simulations, and image processing on the GPU
- Build, train, and run a transformer model from scratch on the GPU
Who this book is for
Python developers, (data) scientists, engineers, and researchers looking to accelerate numerical computations without switching to low-level languages. This book is ideal for those with experience in scientific Python (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy) and a basic understanding of computing fundamentals who want deeper control over performance in GPU environments.

Informazioni sull’autore
Dr. Niels Cautaerts has 10 years of experience writing Python for scientific applications. Five years ago he became interested to leverage hardware acceleration in his code. Soon after, he began contributing CUDA kernels to open source projects in his field of research. He has since applied his expertise to build GPU accelerated code in various projects, including a low latency framework for object detection in continuous image streams. Niels maintains a small following on YouTube and Medium, where he shares educational content about tech. Currently Niels works as a research software developer and data scientist. He has also worked as a big-data engineer. Niels has a background in materials science and holds a Ph.D. in applied Physics.
Hossein Ghorbanfekr is a computational physicist with over a decade of expertise in scientific programming for material modeling, specializing in C/C++ and Python. During his Ph.D., he wrote various codes, utilizing parallel computing and GPU acceleration. Since 2020, he has been working as a data scientist, focusing on machine learning and high-performance computing in research projects. Hossein has contributed to the development of an object detection framework for waste stream analysis and created GEOBERTje, a domain-specific large language model in geology. His recent work includes Pantea, an open-source, GPU-accelerated machine learning framework for molecular simulations.

Diritto di recesso
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
-
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
-
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
