WideLM fits large numbers of linear models to a fixed design matrix and response. An Nvidia GPU is used to accelerate model fitting, with the CUDA API enabling parallel execution of multiple individual fits. The individual models must have modest size. The package implements a chunking interface to the GPU kernel, allowing the caller to stream model specifications. Hence the number of fits to be performed is essentially unlimited.
