    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides a Python programming model for writing parallel GPU kernels targeting NVIDIA hardware.
    • Enables Python developers to write efficient, tile-based parallel kernels leveraging CUDA Toolkit 13.1+ with seamless integration.
    • Use for accelerating compute-intensive Python applications by offloading parallel workloads to NVIDIA GPUs.
    • Use for developing custom GPU kernels in Python for scientific computing or machine learning workflows requiring fine-grained parallelism.
    • Use for prototyping and testing GPU kernel logic in Python before porting to lower-level CUDA C++ implementations.

    From the README

    cuTile Python is a programming language for NVIDIA GPUs. The official documentation can be found on docs.nvidia.com, or built from source located in the docs folder.

    cuTile Python is published on PyPI under the cuda-tile package name and can be installed with pip:

    Currently, the CUDA Toolkit 13.1+ is required and needs to be installed separately.

    cuTile is written mostly in Python, but includes a C++ extension which needs to be built. You will need:

    On an Ubuntu system, the first four dependencies can be installed with APT:

    The CMakeLists.txt script will also automatically download the DLPack dependency from GitHub. If you wish to disable this behavior and provide your own copy of DLPack, set the CUDA_TILE_CMAKE_DLPACK_PATH environment variable to a local path to the DLPack source tree.
