CUDA

CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing platform and application programming interface (API) model by which software developers can use a CUDA-enabled graphics processing unit (GPU) for general-purpose processing. This concept is known as GPGPU (General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units).

The principle of CUDA
CUDA leverages the parallel processing capabilities of NVIDIA GPUs to perform complex computational tasks more efficiently than a central processing unit (CPU) can. This is made possible by segmenting complex computational tasks into thousands of smaller tasks that can be processed in parallel. The method is particularly useful for applications that require processing large blocks of data or performing the same operation on different data points.

CUDA’s advantages over CPU
Compared to traditional CPU-based computing, CUDA has a number of compelling advantages.

• Parallel processing. GPUs with CUDA support can simultaneously process thousands of threads and thus accelerate data processing.
• Parallel processing.
• Scalability. CUDA scalability allows you to manage large data sets and perform complex computations more efficiently.
• Universality. CUDA’s versatility is evident in its use in a wide range of applications, from image and video processing to computational biology and cryptography.
