+### scikit-learn
+
+[scikit-learn](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/index.html) is a free and open-source library that
+provides various machine learning algorithms.
+By default, [scikit-learn](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/index.html) does only utilize the CPU.
+This, however, can be easily changed to also utilize the GPU and speed up calculation as explained
+in the [corresponding section](#run-scikit-learn-algorithms-on-the-gpu)
+
+#### Run scikit-learn Algorithms on the GPU
+
+Using [cuml](https://docs.rapids.ai/api/cuml/latest/) the GPU can be utilized with only two lines
+to add to existing code.
+As explained in the
+[cuml guide on zero code change acceleration](https://docs.rapids.ai/api/cuml/latest/cuml-accel/)
+only the following two lines have to be added to run the scikit-learn algorithms on the GPU.
+Additionally, cuml has to be installed using a [Python package manager](#using-virtual-environments)
+like [uv](#uv-virtual-environments).
+It is important that these lines are put before importing any scikit-learn packages.
+
+```py
+import cuml
+cuml.accel.install()
+```
+
+Afterwards all possible scikit-learn algorithms will run on the GPU instead of the CPU.
