CUDA and CUDA Toolkit

CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming mode, which are developed by NVIDIA. This is implemented by graphics processing units. CUDA allows developers to access the virtual instruction set and memory of parallel computational elements in CUDA GPUs. Since the power of GPUs is allocated to general purpose processing, this provides more computational power to support its CPU.

CUDA Toolkit is an integrated development environment, which includes GPU compiler, libraries, drivers, and tools. This integrated development environment manages debug, optimization, and execution of an application.

CUDA is mainly based upon C/C++. For farther details of CUDA, please visit the URL shown below.
