CuGBasis is a free and open-source CUDA®/Python library for efficient computation of scalar, vector, and matrix quantities crucial for the post-processing of electronic structure calculations. CuGBasis integrates high-performance Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) computing with the ease and flexibility of Python programming, making it compatible with a vast ecosystem of libraries. We showcase its utility as a Python library and demonstrate its seamless interoperability with existing Python software to gain chemical insight from quantum chemistry calculations. Leveraging GPU-accelerated code, cuGBasis exhibits remarkable performance, making it highly applicable to larger systems or large databases. Our benchmarks reveal a 100-fold performance gain compared to alternative software packages, including serial/multi-threaded Central Processing Unit and GPU implementations. This paper outlines various features and computational strategies that lead to cuGBasis's enhanced performance, guiding developers of GPU-accelerated code.
