CuPy backend #5

Closed as not planned
Closed as not planned

Description

@asmeurer

We may want to move cupy.array_api to this library as a cupy backend. That would provide support for non-trivial device support, which is currently the one thing that can't really be checked that much through the usage of this library alone.

    Q: What's the plan for numpy.array_api? That it'd be moved to this repo starting NumPy 2.0?

    Yes, the plan is to remove it for 2.0.

    We've just switched from numpy.array_api in SciPy - scipy/scipy#20087

    This is looking like a won't fix. We can emulate all the major standard behavior of CuPy, including now device support. Supporting multiple backends would be a major testing and maintenance headache that wouldn't be worth it.
