"CUDA 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 known as GPGPU. 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.
The CUDA platform is designed to work with programming languages such as C, C++ and Fortran.
This accessibility makes it easier for specialists in parallel
programming to utilize GPU resources, as opposed to previous API
solutions like Direct3D and OpenGL, which required advanced skills in graphics programming. Also, CUDA supports programming frameworks such as OpenACC and OpenCL. When it was first introduced by NVIDIA, the name CUDA was an acronym for Compute Unified Device Architecture, but NVIDIA subsequently dropped the use of the acronym.
