Let's continue our exciting journey forward. Now is the right time to get our hands dirty and write our first PyCUDA program that will compute a general-purpose solution. Follow the next steps to get started:
- First, open a new file in PyCharm:
- Now use the following code to print Hello World from NVIDIA GPU! from the GPU device itself! This is a regular and basic format in PyCUDA:
# Auto initialization for CUDA (can be done manually as well)
import pycuda.autoinit
# Importing SourceModule from the PyCUDA Compiler module
from pycuda.compiler import SourceModule
# Printing from the GPU device itself!
mod = SourceModule("""
__global__ void hello_from_nvidia_gpu()
{
printf("Hello World from NVIDIA GPU!");
}
""")
#Referencing the function for the GPU kernel
hello = mod.get_function...
