SciPy 2025

Leo Fang

I am a senior software engineer at NVIDIA, currently leading the CUDA Python program. We aim to enable Python as a first-class language on the CUDA platform. In my prior roles at NVIDIA I co-founded several Python projects, including cuQuantum Python and nvmath-python, and spoke in PyCon 2022 as a sponsor. I have also supported many open-source developments, such as conda-forge, Python array API standard, and DLPack. Before joining NVIDIA, I was an assistant computational scientist at Brookhaven National Lab, and contributed to open source projects like CuPy and mpi4py.

CuPy: My Journey toward GPU-Accelerated Computing in Python
Leo Fang

This talk walks all Pythonistas through recent CuPy feature development. Join me and hear my story on how an open-source novice started contributing to and helping CuPy over the years grow into a full-fledged, reliable, GPU-accelerated array library that covers most of NumPy, SciPy, and Numba functionalities.
