Cupy support in anndata about anndata HOT 8 CLOSED

@ivirshup I have a PR (scverse/rapids_singlecell#60) ready to go once the anndata 0.10.0 comes out. The only things I'll have to do is rerun the notebooks with benchmarks and depreciate cunndata and change the docs with the usage principle. So I think I can have the updated out at most 2 days after you publish.
Edit:
I also updated the tests to work with anndata. Thats why I didn't merge yet.

You can point to the documentation notebooks in https://rapids-singlecell.readthedocs.io/en/latest/notebooks.html
The notebooks will work with anndata once 0.10.0 is released

So I have some more small Ideas that I think would be good. I can also start implementing some of them:

• Check if .nnz for cpx is less than 2^31-1 since cupy only supports int32 indptr
• make a .todevice() like torch. To transform X or .layers from and to GPU. Maybe add an all option to dump everything into > RAM.
• add a flag/property for .X and layers if its in RAM or VRAM

• make a .todevice()

What would this do? I was hoping that it would let us move things between CPU and GPU, but I don't think that's consistent with the semantics of cupy and numpy. Maybe it can be handled on the array level for now?

• add a flag/property for .X and layers if its in RAM or VRAM

For now could this just be "whether it's a cupy type or not"? I don't think I'd want to add a property to the AnnData object for this if you can do isinstance.

• Check if .nnz for cpx is less than 2^31-1 since cupy only supports int32 indptr

Is this in the case where the scipy matrix has 64 bit index types? I think this would make sense there.

Yes there are 64 bit indptr for scipy matrices. If you go above the limit the indptr will become negative and you run into issues with converting the matrix etc.

Indeed, we could let the user handle this, and the syntax would likely be more similar to pytorch. I really came to like a simple oneliner that moves everything over to RAM and not manually converting every layer.

Using isinstance is entirely sufficient. I was just considering the scenario where someone wants to run a scanpy function on GPU AnnData or an rsc function with a scipy matrix. I'm currently making all my rapids-singlecell functions compatible with CPU AnnData and was contemplating such a flag.

@Intron7, I'm thinking about how we document this here. I think it would be useful to link out to the rapids-single cell docs. What do you think? I see the latest build still is referring to CunnData

That’s awesome!

I'll split the others off into new issues, but will point to rapids-single cell for usage examples. Almost closable

Closing as complete in anndata 0.10
