      Description     : NumPy-like API accelerated with CUDA

CuPy is an implementation of NumPy-compatible multi-dimensional array
on CUDA. CuPy consists of the core multi-dimensional array class,
cupy.ndarray, and many functions on it. It supports a subset of
numpy.ndarray interface.

CUDA's GCC/LLVM support is always lagging behind the GCC/LLVM upstreams.
That makes the maintenance work of CUDA application always annoying.
I'm dropping this ITP. Afterall the user can install cupy simply with pip.

Hello,

As per the discussion on the Debian Science mailing list, CuPy also has
an AMD ROCm backend [1]. I believe all required components for building
CuPy for AMD hardware are currently available on Debian Sid. The ROCm
version of CuPy could therefore be available in main rather than contrib
(as would be required for the NVIDIA backend).

Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
