[matplotlib-devel] Make matplotlib running on GPU/CUDA

[Francesco F. <f.f...@gm...>]

Greetings to everyone,



I'm Francesco Faccenda and I'm developing a sfotware in *python* where I
need to show some charts, so I chose matplotlib as a plot library. Anyway,
since lots of data are shown on matplotlip stages (thousands of curves with
hundreds of points each), the charts become very heavy, interactive events
and functions start lagging and users experience becomes unacceptable.



But there’s a good news, I have a nice GPU available (an NVIDIA Tesla
K40c), so I’d like to know if there is a way to make matplotlib run on it,
or maybe wrap it on some GPU/CUDA wrapper and make it run smoothly.



Do you have any suggestion how to do it? I never went through matplotlib
source code before and I don’t know if this feature has already been
scheduled for future releases or it’s something completely new.

I would really appreciate some suggestions on this subject.



Thank you in advance.



Best regards,

Francesco
