RAPIDS is an open-source suite of software libraries developed by NVIDIA, designed to accelerate data science workflows through GPU computing. By leveraging the power of NVIDIA GPUs, RAPIDS enables faster data processing and analysis, making it particularly beneficial for handling large datasets. The core library, cuDF, provides a DataFrame-like interface similar to Pandas, allowing users to perform data manipulation and analysis with familiar syntax while achieving significant performance improvements. RAPIDS is increasingly popular in various domains, including machine learning, data engineering, and analytics, as it streamlines traditional workflows and enhances computational efficiency.
