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.<br /> <br /> 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 APIs like [[Direct3D]] and [[OpenGL]], which required advanced skills in graphics programming. Also, CUDA supports programming frameworks such as OpenACC and OpenCL.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[OpenCL]] - A standard for programming a variety of platforms, including GPUs<br /> * [[BrookGPU]] – the Stanford University graphics group's compiler<br /> * [[Array programming]]<br /> * [[Parallel computing]]<br /> * [[Stream processing]]<br /> * [[rCUDA]] – An API for computing on remote computers<br /> * [[Molecular modeling on GPU]]<br /> * [[Vulkan]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA CUDA] @ Wikipedia<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Computing]]</div>
