You are using RAPIDS and Python for a data analysis project.

RAPIDS is a suite of open-source libraries designed to accelerate data science workflows by leveraging GPU processing, as emphasized in NVIDIA’s Generative AI and LLMs course. It enables on-GPU processing of computationally expensive calculations, such as data preprocessing and machine learning tasks, using libraries like cuDF and cuML. Additionally, RAPIDS minimizes CPU-GPU memory transfers by performing operations directly on the GPU, reducing latency and improving performance. Options A and B are identical and correct, reflecting RAPIDS’ core functionality. Option C is incorrect, as RAPIDS does not focus on PCIe bus throughput or “word-doubling,” which is not a relevant concept. Option D is wrong, as RAPIDS does not rely on lossless compression for acceleration but on GPU-parallel processing. The course notes: “RAPIDS accelerates data science by enabling GPU-based processing of computationally intensive tasks and minimizing CPU-GPU memory transfers, significantly speeding up workflows.”
