CuPy : NumPy-like API accelerated with CUDA

Website | Docs | Install Guide | Tutorial | Examples | Forum (en, ja)

CuPy is an implementation of NumPy-compatible multi-dimensional array on CUDA. CuPy consists of the core multi-dimensional array class, cupy.ndarray, and many functions on it. It supports a subset of numpy.ndarray interface.

Installation

For detailed instructions on installing CuPy, see the installation guide.

You can install CuPy using pip:

(Binary Package for CUDA 8.0)
$ pip install cupy-cuda80

(Binary Package for CUDA 9.0)
$ pip install cupy-cuda90

(Binary Package for CUDA 9.1)
$ pip install cupy-cuda91

(Binary Package for CUDA 9.2)
$ pip install cupy-cuda92

(Binary Package for CUDA 10.0)
$ pip install cupy-cuda100

(Binary Package for CUDA 10.1)
$ pip install cupy-cuda101

(Binary Package for CUDA 10.2)
$ pip install cupy-cuda102

(Source Package)
$ pip install cupy

The latest version of cuDNN and NCCL libraries are included in binary packages (wheels). For the source package, you will need to install cuDNN/NCCL before installing CuPy, if you want to use it.

Run with Docker

We provide the official Docker image. Use nvidia-docker command to run CuPy image with GPU. You can login to the environment with bash, and run the Python interpreter.

$ nvidia-docker run -it cupy/cupy /bin/bash

Development

Please see the contribution guide.
