Nvidia : CUDA Technology
Posted by immad19 on September 6, 2008
CUDA
NVIDIA CUDA™ technology is the world’s only C language environment that enables programmers and developers to write software to solve complex computational problems in a fraction of the time by tapping into the many-core parallel processing power of GPUs.
TECHNOLOGY FEATURES
- Standard C language for parallel application development on the GPU
- Standard numerical libraries for FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines)
- Dedicated CUDA driver for computing with fast data transfer path between GPU and CPU
- CUDA driver interoperates with OpenGL and DirectX graphics drivers
- Support for Linux 32/64-bit and Windows XP 32/64-bit operating systems
WHITE PAPERS AND ARTICLES
- Accelerating MATLAB with CUDA using MEX Files
- Fast N-body Simulation with CUDA (from GPU Gems 3)
- PARALLEL PROCESSING WITH CUDA
DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION TIPS
NVIDIA’s CUDA development tools provide three key components to help you get started: the latest CUDA driver, a complete CUDA toolkit, and CUDA SDK code samples.
Please download files and install them in this order:
| 1. CUDA driver | 2. CUDA toolkit | 3. CUDA SDK code samples |
The CUDA driver and toolkit installation are required before running the precompiled examples or compiling the example source code.
