skcuda.misc.zeros(shape, dtype, order='C', allocator=<Mock object>)[source]

Return an array of the given shape and dtype filled with zeros.

Parameters:
  • shape (tuple) – Array shape.
  • dtype (data-type) – Data type for the array.
  • order ({'C', 'F'}, optional) – Create array using row-major or column-major format.
  • allocator (callable, optional) – Returns an object that represents the memory allocated for the requested array.
Returns:

out – Array of zeros with the given shape, dtype, and order.

Return type:

pycuda.gpuarray.GPUArray

Notes

This function exists to work around the following numpy bug that prevents pycuda.gpuarray.zeros() from working properly with complex types in pycuda 2011.1.2: http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1898
