## Description

There has been a huge rise in the use of graphics processing units (GPUs) for general purpose computing outside of purely visual applications, be it for accelerating scientific research simulations, or training artificial intelligences in an extensive range of fields, from analysing medical images to predicting new proteins. This talk will look at some of the Python-based software, tools and frameworks that are available to help developers and researchers quickly utilise the full abilities of GPU acceleration technology in their work.
