Changes look good to me. I've seen you've renamed Dask-cuDF->Dask cuDF in rapidsai/cudf#16765. I'd thus consider that the "official name", since we refer to it here I'd say it's best to switch from Dask-cuDF to Dask cuDF in all instances here too. Sorry for making you change this before, I didn't previously realize you were removing the hyphen in rapidsai/cudf#16765 , I'll nevertheless leave the last choice on Dask cuDF naming in here up to you.
Thanks @pentschev ! I'll admit I'm a bit torn on the hyphen issue - My eye prefers a space, but there are definitely many cases in the wild where the hyphen is present, and I do want to be as consistent as possible. I suppose I'll just start changing Dask-cuDF to Dask cuDF whenever I come across it from now on (and Dask CUDA to Dask-CUDA). |
That makes sense, since we're already using |

Small follow-up to #1383 - Fixes a typo in a link that references the "Spilling from device" page - Small tweaks to the spilling discussion on the "best practices" page Authors: - Richard (Rick) Zamora (https://github.com/rjzamora) Approvers: - Peter Andreas Entschev (https://github.com/pentschev) URL: #1384
Updates the dask-cuda documentation to include notes on native cuDF spilling, since it is often the best spilling approach for ETL with Dask cuDA (please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).
