3.5. Supported Python features in CUDA Python¶
This page lists the Python features supported in the CUDA Python. This includes
all kernel and device functions compiled with @cuda.jit
and other higher
level Numba decorators that targets the CUDA GPU.
3.5.1. Language¶
3.5.1.1. Execution Model¶
CUDA Python maps directly to the single-instruction multiple-thread execution (SIMT) model of CUDA. Each instruction is implicitly executed by multiple threads in parallel. With this execution model, array expressions are less useful because we don’t want multiple threads to perform the same task. Instead, we want threads to perform a task in a cooperative fashion.
For details please consult the CUDA Programming Guide.
3.5.1.2. Constructs¶
The following Python constructs are not supported:
- Exception handling (
try .. except
,try .. finally
) - Context management (the
with
statement) - Comprehensions (either list, dict, set or generator comprehensions)
- Generator (any
yield
statements)
The raise
and assert
statements are supported.
See nopython language support.
3.5.2. Built-in types¶
The following built-in types support are inherited from CPU nopython mode.
- int
- float
- complex
- bool
- None
- tuple
