 CUDA

CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing platform and application programming interface (API) model created by Nvidia.It allows software developers and software engineers to use a CUDA-enabled graphics processing unit (GPU) for general purpose processing an approach termed GPGPU (General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units).The CUDA platform is a software layer that gives direct access to the GPU's virtual instruction set and parallel computational elements, for the execution of compute kernels.
