About the talk:
Numba is a package that will do the heavy lifting for you when you want to offload computations to GPUs. In this webinar, you will learn how to use it, as well as about potential performance issues, and how to remedy those. These performance optimisations are not specific to numba, so what you learn is transferable to GPU programming in general.
