I am an experienced Python hacker. I year ago I had never used CUDA or
PyCUDA. I had tried to learn CUDA through many different tutorials and
finally found that udacity course and I immediately understood several
things with GPUs that I never got the hang of before.

After the course I looked at the examples provided by PyCUDA and I had what
I needed to start playing. Now I have a full fledged parallel ODE solver
implemented for arbitrary ODEs using PyCUDA.

Thanks for the excellent software :)
