CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing platform and application programming interface (API) model created by NVIDIA for general computing on its own GPUs (Graphics Processing Units). It empowers application developers to leverage the parallel processing capabilities of NVIDIA's GPUs to accelerate computation-heavy tasks, such as matrix operations, physics simulations, deep learning training, and real-time video processing. CUDA provides a C-like programming language that allows developers to write kernel functions, which are executed on the GPU, and manage memory between the host (CPU) and device (GPU) environments. Utilizing CUDA can lead to significant performance improvements in suitable applications, and it integrates well with various programming environments, including Python through libraries like PyCUDA or through frameworks like TensorFlow with GPU support. Understanding basic concepts such as kernels, threads, blocks, and warps is essential for developers to effectively harness the power of GPU programming with CUDA.
