Thanks for the various links, Ethan. I have encountered PyCUDA before, but not the other options.
So far, I'm not seeing code examples which appear to do what I would like, which is simply to farm out one Python process to one GPU core. The examples all appear to parallelize array operations. I know, that's the easier way to break up a task. I may have to bite the bullet and learn how to use this: http://mklab.iti.gr/project/GPU-LIBSVM -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
