[@CODwontons]

Great explanations

[@P4el1co]

Great tutorial!

[@NotesByNick]

Thanks, fella!

[@alaham2590]

thx for this introduction. Little and naif question : can pycuda handle another type than numerical, specifically strings ? thx again.

[@hamzamuhammadkhan]

just a question is PyCUDA or CUDA are specially design for NVIDIA GPU laptops and PCs or it's for every GPU

[@NotesByNick]

Hamza Mohammad Khan it’s for NVIDIA GPUs only. CUDA is a language created by NVIDIA , but I believe there are options for AMD GPUs as well (PyOpenCL)

[@hamzamuhammadkhan]

@@NotesByNick thankyou ... Yes was just confirming

[@hamzamuhammadkhan]

@@NotesByNick PyOpenCL and PyOpenGL and 1 more ROCm( limited to some amd GPU but i think it's universal ) are used

[@NotesByNick]

@@hamzamuhammadkhan Good to know, thank you for sharing!

Hi great video! Wondering if it's possible to use directives or clauses, i.e. OpenMP OpenAcc to write gpu program in python tho haha

[@NotesByNick]

Not to my knowledge, since those are directives to the compiler

Hi how I can install pycuda? when I install using pip or directly with setup pycuda sends me the warning *** WARNING: nvcc not in path. *** May need to set CUDA_INC_DIR for installation to succeed. I have added the path to bashrc export PATH="/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH" and export PATH="/usr/local/cuda/lib64:$PATH" but I still get the error. anyway to solve the problem?

Can barely hear you

[@NotesByNick]

Yeah, sorry about that. A lot of the earlier videos have low volume because I didn't have a mic stand. This one was just dumb on my part because of levels/not talking into the mic. Will be re-recording a lot of these soon!
