Universal Functions (ufunc)

CuPy provides universal functions (a.k.a. ufuncs) to support various elementwise operations. CuPy’s ufunc supports following features of NumPy’s one:

  • Broadcasting
  • Output type determination
  • Casting rules

CuPy’s ufunc currently does not provide methods such as reduce, accumulate, reduceat, outer, and at.

ufunc.at

Currently, CuPy does not support at for ufuncs in general. However, cupy.scatter_add() can substitute add.at as both behave identically.
