Introduction to CUDA

Repository with some examples of CUDA and Thrust, including an extended "reconstruction" example integrating a Minuit2 controlled fit with NLL evaluated on the GPU using thrust::transform_reduce.

Introduction to NumPy

Learning NumPy is highly recommended for more efficient data preparation for upload to the GPU and analysis of results.
