RAPIDS APIs
cuDF
cuDF is a Python GPU DataFrame library (built on the Apache Arrow columnar memory format) for loading, joining, aggregating, filtering, and otherwise manipulating data.
DOCS stable (24.10) | nightly (24.12) | legacy (24.08)
LINKS changelog | github
dask-cuDF
Dask-cuDF extends Dask where necessary to allow its DataFrame partitions to be processed using cuDF GPU DataFrames instead of Pandas DataFrames. Dask-cuDF is used to leverage multiple gpus and multiple nodes for more performance at larger scales
DOCS stable (24.10) | nightly (24.12) | legacy (24.08)

cuML
cuML is a suite of libraries that implement machine learning algorithms and mathematical primitives functions that share compatible APIs with other RAPIDS projects.
DOCS stable (24.10) | nightly (24.12) | legacy (24.08)
LINKS changelog | github
cuGraph
cuGraph is a GPU accelerated graph analytics library, with functionality like NetworkX, which is seamlessly integrated into the RAPIDS data science platform. cuGraph supports GNNs with PyG, DGL packages and cugraph-ops (for low level optimized operations) as well as cugraph-service for analytics on a remote graph and WHOLEGRAPH for memory management.

cuxfilter
cuxfilter acts as a connector library, which provides the connections between different visualization libraries and a GPU dataframe without much hassle. This also allows the user to use charts from different libraries in a single dashboard, while also providing the interaction.

cuSpatial
cuSpatial is a GPU-accelerated vector GIS library including binary predicates (DE-9IM), point-in-polygon, spatial join, distances, and trajectory analysis.
DOCS stable (24.10) | nightly (24.12) | legacy (24.08)
LINKS changelog | github
cuProj
cuProj is a GPU-accelerated geographic and geodetic coordinate transformation library which supports projecting coordinates between coordinate reference systems (CRSes), compatible with PyProj.
DOCS stable (24.10) | nightly (24.12) | legacy (24.08)

RMM
RAPIDS Memory Manager (RMM) is a central place for all device memory allocations in cuDF (C++ and Python) and other RAPIDS libraries. In addition, it is a replacement allocator for CUDA Device Memory (and CUDA Managed Memory) and a pool allocator to make CUDA device memory allocation / deallocation faster and asynchronous.
