CuPy Accelerates NumPy on the GPU? Hold My Cider, Here's Clojure

Where did you get that? Even the main title is refferring to the main point being that CuPy does not accelerate NumPy even in the case where it should be absolutely expected to. Then I used my implemetation to demonstrate that indeed GPU implementation for such a huge matrix should be many times faster.

I never claimed that my library aims for being a replacement for CuPy, or to have any compatibility with NumPy.

It would be more valuable to CuPy developers if I debugged CuPy to discover why that problem exists, but why should I be obligated to? I was writing this for a perspective of a user of these libraries.

Would it be an idea to benchmark Neanderthal with float64 as well, just to gather some data on it?

I agree with both of you, you’re both looking at this thing from a different perspective. It’s perhaps just better to gather timing measurements on a few variants with the trade-offs that each library has made, and how that affects implementation / speed.
