Rapids is an open-source framework developed by NVIDIA designed for high-performance data processing on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). By leveraging GPU acceleration, Rapids significantly enhances the speed of data operations, making it particularly effective for handling large datasets. The framework includes libraries such as cuDF, which provides a DataFrame-like interface similar to Pandas but optimized for parallel processing. This allows users to perform complex data manipulations and analyses much faster than traditional CPU-based libraries. As data science and analytics continue to evolve, Rapids offers a powerful tool for data professionals seeking efficiency and scalability in their workflows.
