A General Accelerated R Package Using GPU

In this paper, we present cuLib, a R package that provides an easy-to-access interface for utilizing the computing power of NVIDIA GPU. The cuLib package aims to make GPU-based parallel programming easier, flexible and high-performance. It allows the use of GPU computing in R without further knowledge because the syntax for definition and manipulation of GPU data is similar to formal R language. cuLib is compatible with device and operation system. The data interface is very flexible, enabling the users manipulate data freely. The cuLib package provides an R wrapper for libraries of NVIDIA´s CUDA toolkit and numerous operations. More importantly, it is not only a mathematical tool but also practicable for the algorithm in dealing with data intensive computation.
