Before\u002Fafter conversions for\nevery library are in\n[references\u002Fcode_transformation_patterns.md](references\u002Fcode_transformation_patterns.md).\n\n## Optimization Workflow\n\n### 1. Define the contract and baseline\n\n- Capture a representative input, expected output, and acceptable numerical tolerance.\n- Measure the current end-to-end path, including input, transfers, compute, and output.\n- Profile before changing code. Use CPU profilers for CPU code and identify whether the real limit\n  is compute, memory bandwidth, allocation, transfer, synchronization, or storage.\n- Record hardware, package versions, dtypes, shapes, batch size, and warm-up policy with results.\n\n### 2. Check suitability before porting\n\nGPU execution is promising when the hot path exposes substantial independent work, runs often\nenough to amortize initialization and transfer, and has a working set that fits available device\nmemory with room for temporaries. Keep a CPU path when the workload is small, mostly sequential,\ndominated by unsupported operations, or requires frequent host-device round trips.\n\nDo not use fixed row-count thresholds as proof. Benchmark the user's actual shapes and hardware.\nFor out-of-core data, estimate peak working memory and choose chunking, Dask, or a streaming design\nbefore allocating.\n\n### 3. Try the least disruptive implementation\n\n1. If the code already uses a GPU-native framework, optimize within that framework.\n2. Try accelerator or backend modes (`cudf.pandas`, `cuml.accel`, `nx-cugraph`).\n3. Move to a native GPU API only where accelerator coverage or performance is insufficient.\n4. Write a custom kernel only when profiling shows an operation without a suitable library\n   implementation.\n\nRead the relevant library reference before writing code; compatible names can still differ in\ndefaults, dtypes, output types, and supported arguments.\n\n### 4. Keep a coherent GPU data path\n\n- Transfer inputs once and keep intermediates device-resident.\n- Reuse allocations and prefer `out=` or in-place forms when semantics allow.\n- Batch small operations; fuse elementwise work when it removes intermediate arrays.\n- Use pinned host memory and non-default streams only after profiling shows transfer overlap matters.\n- Choose `float32`, mixed precision, or reduced-precision storage only when the contract permits it.\n\n### 5. Validate semantics before speed\n\n- Compare CPU and GPU outputs on small deterministic fixtures and representative data.\n- Use explicit tolerances for floating-point results and test edge cases, NaNs, ordering, and dtypes.\n- For approximate nearest-neighbor indexes, report recall@k against exact search; do not compare an\n  exact CPU algorithm with an approximate GPU algorithm as if they were equivalent.\n- Check accelerator warnings and logs for CPU fallback.\n\n### 6. Benchmark GPU code correctly\n\nGPU work is asynchronous, so a CPU timer around an unsynchronized call measures enqueue time.\nWarm up context creation and JIT compilation, then use CUDA events or a library-aware timer:\n\n```python\nfrom cupyx.profiler import benchmark\n\nprint(benchmark(gpu_function, (arg1, arg2), n_warmup=10, n_repeat=100))\n```\n\nUse `%gpu_timeit` in notebooks, Nsight Systems (`nsys`) for end-to-end timelines, and Nsight\nCompute (`ncu`) for kernel analysis. Report both synchronized kernel\u002Fregion time and realistic\nend-to-end latency; include transfer and conversion costs when production pays them.\n\nMeasure peak device memory as well as time. For CuPy, distinguish live allocations\nfrom memory retained by its pool; a high `nvidia-smi` reading after arrays are\nreleased is not by itself a leak. Record the allocator and pooling policy, include\ntemporary buffers and FFT caches, and leave headroom for CUDA context\u002Flibrary\nallocations outside the pool limit. Avoid clearing the pool inside timed repeats\nunless production does so. See [CuPy memory management](https:\u002F\u002Fdocs.cupy.dev\u002Fen\u002Fstable\u002Fuser_guide\u002Fmemory.html).\n\n### 7. Keep, revise, or reject the port\n\nRetain the GPU path only when it passes correctness checks and improves the metric the user cares\nabout on representative data. If it does not, explain whether the limiting factor is problem size,\ntransfers, unsupported fallback, memory pressure, launch granularity, or the algorithm itself.\n\n## Important Notes\n\n- Provide a CPU fallback when the application requires portability; otherwise fail early with a\n  clear hardware and dependency error.\n- Test against a trusted reference with problem-specific tolerances; changed algorithms,\n  precision, reduction order, and random streams can produce more than roundoff differences.\n- GPU memory is limited — for datasets larger than GPU memory, consider chunking or using RAPIDS Dask for multi-GPU\n- Prefer the CUDA Array Interface or DLPack for supported zero-copy interchange, but verify device,\n  dtype, contiguity, ownership, and stream semantics rather than assuming every conversion is free.\n\n## Reference Files\n\nBefore writing any GPU optimization code, read the relevant reference file(s):\n\n| File | When to Read |\n|------|-------------|\n| `references\u002Fcupy.md` | User has NumPy\u002FSciPy code, or needs array operations on GPU |\n| `references\u002Fnumba.md` | User has existing Numba-CUDA code or needs explicit SIMT kernels; note the migration path to Numba-CUDA-MLIR |\n| `references\u002Fcudf.md` | User has pandas code, or needs dataframe operations on GPU |\n| `references\u002Fcuml.md` | User has scikit-learn code, or needs ML training\u002Finference\u002Fpreprocessing on GPU |\n| `references\u002Fcugraph.md` | User has NetworkX code, or needs graph analytics on GPU |\n| `references\u002Fwarp.md` | User needs GPU kernels for simulation, spatial computing, mesh\u002Fvolume queries, differentiable programming, or robotics; use Newton for a high-level physics engine |\n| `references\u002Fkvikio.md` | User needs high-performance file IO to\u002Ffrom GPU, GPUDirect Storage, reading S3\u002FHTTP to GPU, or Zarr on GPU |\n| `references\u002Fcuxfilter.md` | User maintains or explicitly requests cuxfilter (sunset — 26.06 is the final release) |\n| `references\u002Fcucim.md` | User has scikit-image code, or needs image processing, digital pathology, or WSI reading on GPU |\n| `references\u002Fcuvs.md` | User needs vector search, nearest neighbors, similarity search, or RAG retrieval on GPU |\n| `references\u002Fcuspatial.md` | User maintains or explicitly requests cuSpatial (archived — frozen at 25.04 and isolated from current RAPIDS) |\n| `references\u002Fraft.md` | User needs sparse eigensolvers, device memory management, or multi-GPU primitives |\n\nRead the specific reference before writing code — they contain detailed API patterns, optimization techniques, and pitfalls specific to each library.\n\n## Citing Scientific Agent Skills\n\nThis skill is part of Scientific Agent Skills by K-Dense.
