Polars leverages the power of NVIDIA RAPIDS CUDA libraries for GPU acceleration, significantly boosting performance for machine learning and big data tasks. While the Polars-RAPIDS integration is still evolving, the following information will be valuable for anyone looking to harness the speed of GPUs with NVIDIA RAPIDS.
To begin your journey with RAPIDS, your machine should ideally have GPUs with a compute capability of at least 7.0. Refer the below links to verify the compute compatibility of your GPU
