How has your experience with CUDA been? Is it as painful as it appears at first glance? I've done a ton of python and C, and yet whenever I look at C++ code, it just screams stay away.

But I have some almost-reasonably-performant pytorch that I'd rather not just use as a cash burning machine, so it looks like it might be time to dive into CUDA :-\



The CUDA I've written has never been joyous but it also hasn't been as horrific as I'd expected. There's a period of hair pulling but persistence will get you through it. The majority of CUDA code is closer to C than C++ too which is helpful. I'll be looking at diving back into CUDA in the near future given the exact speed issues we've been mentioning so feel free to get in touch.
