[RAPIDS](https://rapids.ai) cuGraph is a collection of GPU-accelerated graph algorithms and services. At the Python layer, cuGraph operates on [GPU DataFrames](https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf), thereby allowing for seamless passing of data between ETL tasks in [cuDF](https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf) and machine learning tasks in [cuML](https://github.com/rapidsai/cuml). Data scientists familiar with Python will quickly pick up how cuGraph integrates with the Pandas-like API of cuDF.  Likewise, users familiar with NetworkX will quickly recognize the NetworkX-like API provided in cuGraph, with the goal to allow existing code to be ported with minimal effort into RAPIDS. To simplify integration, cuGraph also supports data found in [Pandas DataFrame](https://pandas.pydata.org/), [NetworkX Graph Objects](https://networkx.org/) and several other formats.

While the high-level cugraph python API provides an easy-to-use and familiar interface for data scientists that's consistent with other RAPIDS libraries in their workflow, some use cases require access to lower-level graph theory concepts.  For these users, we provide an additional Python API called pylibcugraph, intended for applications that require a tighter integration with cuGraph at the Python layer with fewer dependencies.  Users familiar with C/C++/CUDA and graph structures can access libcugraph and libcugraph_c for low level integration outside of python.

**NOTE:** For the latest stable [README.md](https://github.com/rapidsai/cugraph/blob/main/README.md) ensure you are on the latest branch.



As an example, the following Python snippet loads graph data and computes PageRank:

```python
import cudf
import cugraph

# read data into a cuDF DataFrame using read_csv
gdf = cudf.read_csv("graph_data.csv", names=["src", "dst"], dtype=["int32", "int32"])

# We now have data as edge pairs
# create a Graph using the source (src) and destination (dst) vertex pairs
G = cugraph.Graph()
G.from_cudf_edgelist(gdf, source='src', destination='dst')

# Let's now get the PageRank score of each vertex by calling cugraph.pagerank
df_page = cugraph.pagerank(G)

# Let's look at the top 10 PageRank Score
df_page.sort_values('pagerank', ascending=False).head(10)

```

## <div align="center"><img src="img/rapids_logo.png" width="265px"/></div> Open GPU Data Science <a name="rapids"></a>


The RAPIDS suite of open source software libraries aims to enable execution of end-to-end data science and analytics pipelines entirely on GPUs. It relies on NVIDIA® CUDA® primitives for low-level compute optimization but exposing that GPU parallelism and high-bandwidth memory speed through user-friendly Python interfaces.

### Apache Arrow on GPU  <a name="arrow"></a>

The GPU version of [Apache Arrow](https://arrow.apache.org/) is a common API that enables efficient interchange of tabular data between processes running on the GPU. End-to-end computation on the GPU avoids unnecessary copying and converting of data off the GPU, reducing compute time and cost for high-performance analytics common in artificial intelligence workloads. As the name implies, cuDF uses the Apache Arrow columnar data format on the GPU. Currently, a subset of the features in Apache Arrow are supported.
