cuDF is a single-GPU library. For Multi-GPU cuDF solutions we use
[Dask](https://dask.org/) and the [dask-cudf
package](https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf/tree/main/python/dask_cudf),
which is able to scale cuDF across multiple GPUs on a single machine, or
multiple GPUs across many machines in a cluster.

[Dask DataFrame](http://docs.dask.org/en/latest/dataframe.html) was
originally designed to scale Pandas, orchestrating many Pandas
DataFrames spread across many CPUs into a cohesive parallel DataFrame.
Because cuDF currently implements only a subset of Pandas’s API, not all
Dask DataFrame operations work with cuDF.

`['do', 'you', 'have', 'any', 'cheese?']` is composed of:

1. No data buffer

2. No mask buffer as there are no nulls in the Series

3. Two children columns:

> - A column of UTF-8 characters
> `['d', 'o', 'y', 'o', 'u', h' ... '?']`
> `['d', 'o', 'y', 'o', 'u', 'h' ..., '?']`

## Buffer

The data and mask buffers of a column represent data in GPU memory
(a.k.a *device memory*), and are object of type
(a.k.a *device memory*), and are objects of type
`cudf.core.buffer.Buffer`.

Buffers can be constructed from array-like objects that live either on
