What can I do with CUDA?

The CUDA programming model allows scaling software transparently with an increasing number of processor cores in GPUs. You can program applications using CUDA language abstractions. Any problem or application can be divided into small independent problems and solved independently among these CUDA blocks.

Is C++ similar to CUDA?

We will be running a parallel series of posts about CUDA Fortran targeted at Fortran programmers . CUDA C is essentially C/C++ with a few extensions that allow one to execute functions on the GPU using many threads in parallel.

Is CUDA written in C?

Not realized by many, CUDA is actually two new programming languages, both derived from C++. One is for writing code that runs on GPUs and is a subset of C++. Its function is similar to HLSL (DirectX) or Cg (OpenGL) but with more features and compatibility with C++.

What is CUDA C C++?

CUDA C++ is an extension of C++ that allows developers to program GPUs with a familiar programming language and simple APIs. This part of the series will introduce you to the basic concepts, syntax, and APIs needed to transfer data to and from GPUs, write GPU kernels, and manage GPU thread groups.

What is Cuda and how to get started?

Getting Started with CUDA Greg Ruetsch, Brent Oster © 2008 NVIDIA Corporation. What is CUDA? CUDAis a scalable parallel programming model and a software environment for parallel computing Minimal extensions to familiar C/C++ environment Heterogeneous serial-parallel programming model NVIDIA’s TESLAarchitecture accelerates CUDA

What is the CUDA C Best Practices Guide?

The CUDA C Best Practices Guide presents established parallelization and optimization techniques and explains programming approaches that can greatly simplify programming GPU-accelerated applications.

What’s new at NVIDIA CUDA?

Minimal extensions to familiar C/C++ environment Heterogeneous serial-parallel programming model NVIDIA’s TESLAarchitecture accelerates CUDA Expose the computational horsepower of NVIDIA GPUs Enable GPU computing CUDA also maps well to multicore CPUs © 2008 NVIDIA Corporation.

How are CUDA applications prioritized for optimization?

Actions that present substantial improvements for most CUDA applications have the highest priority, while small optimizations that affect only very specific situations are given a lower priority.
