---------------------------------------
cc [~pearu]
> [Python] [CUDA] Creating a CUDA buffer from Numba device array should be
> easier
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-4212
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4212
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: GPU, Python
> Affects Versions: 0.11.1
> Reporter: Antoine Pitrou
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, to create a CUDA buffer from a Numba device array, you have to
> write:
> {code:python}
> cuda.CudaBuffer.from_numba(device_arr.gpu_data)
> {code}
> It would be easier if you could just write:
> {code}
> cuda.CudaBuffer.from_numba(device_arr)
> {code}
> (ideally, any object exposing the [CUDA Array
> Interface|https://numba.pydata.org/numba-doc/latest/cuda/cuda_array_interface.html]
> would work)
