pybarycuda

Pybaracuda is python wrapper for Barycuda - which is a tiny CUDA accelerated library with no dependencies that performs various barycentric operations. This is an attempt to speed-up a 3D renderer that I'm working on.

Currently, the library exposes the following functions:

• point_in_simplex - takes an array of points, the vertices of a 2D/3D simplex, and tells you if each point lies inside the simplex.
• bary_simplex - takes an array of points, the vertices of a 2D/3D simplex, and returns the barycentric coordinates for each point.

Development

See the Github repo.
