CudaCanvas: Real-time PyTorch Tensor Visualisation in CUDA, Eliminating CPU Transfer

CudaCanvas is a simple Python module that eliminates CPU transfer for Pytorch tensors for displaying and rendering images in the training or evaluation phase, ideal for machine learning scientists and engineers.

import torch
import cudacanvas

noise_image = torch.rand((4, 500, 500), device="cuda")

cudacanvas.set_image(noise_image)
cudacanvas.create_window()

#replace this with you training loop
while (True):

    cudacanvas.render()

    if cudacanvas.should_close():
        #end process if the window is closed
        break

Installation

Before instllation make sure you have torch with cuda support already installed on your machine

Identify your current torch and cuda version, cudacanvas currently only supports torch 2.1.2 and cuda (11.8 or 12.1)

import torch
torch.__version__

CUDA 12.1

If you are running torch 2.1.2 with Cuda 12.1 (2.1.2+cu121) you can download it straight from pypi by running

pip install cudacanvas

CUDA 11.8

If you are running torch 2.1.2 with Cuda 11.8 (2.1.2+cu118) you can run this script

pip install cudacanvas --find-links https://github.com/OutofAi/cudacanvas/wiki/cu118

or manaully download the latest wheel releases from https://github.com/OutofAi/cudacanvas/releases/
