This article mainly introduces the computer graphics card cuda is what, has a certain reference value, interested friends can refer to, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, the following let Xiaobian take you to understand.

Graphics card cuda refers to "unified computing device architecture", which is a computing platform developed by graphics card manufacturer NVIDIA. It is a general parallel computing architecture, which enables GPU to solve complex computing problems; it includes CUDA instruction set architecture (ISA) and parallel computing engine within GPU.

The operating environment of this tutorial: windows10 system, Dell G3 computer.

CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a computing platform launched by NVIDIA, a graphics card manufacturer. CUDA ™is a general parallel computing architecture introduced by NVIDIA, which enables GPU to solve complex computing problems. It includes the CUDA instruction set architecture (ISA) and the parallel computing engine within GPU.

Developers can use C language, the most widely used high-level programming language, to write programs for the CUDA ™architecture. The program can be run at ultra-high performance on processors that support CUDA ™. CUDA3.0 has begun to support C++ and FORTRAN.

Scope of application

The computing industry is developing from using only CPU's "central processing" to CPU and GPU's "collaborative processing". In order to create this brand-new computing model, NVIDIA ™(Nvidia ™) invented the programming model CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture, Unified Computing device Architecture) in order to make full use of the respective advantages of CPU and GPU in applications. The architecture has been applied to GeForce ™(™), ION ™(™), Quadro and Tesla GPU (graphics processing unit), which is a huge market for application developers.

In the consumer market, almost every important consumer video application has used CUDA acceleration or will soon use CUDA to accelerate, including products from Elemental Technologies, MotionDSP and LoiLo.

In the field of scientific research, CUDA has always been popular. For example, CUDA is now able to accelerate AMBER. AMBER is a molecular dynamics simulation program that is used by more than 60000 researchers in academia and pharmaceutical companies around the world to accelerate the exploration of new drugs.

In the financial markets, Numerix and CompatibL released CUDA support for a new counterparty risk application and achieved an 18-fold increase. Numerix is widely used by nearly 400 financial institutions.

The wide application of CUDA has led to the rise of special Tesla GPU for GPU computing. Global Fortune 500 companies have installed more than 700 GPU clusters in various fields, such as Schlumberger and Chevron in energy and BNP Paribas in banking.

With the advent of Microsoft Windows 7 and Apple's Snow Leopard operating system, GPU computing is bound to become mainstream. In these new operating systems, GPU will not only be a GPU, it will also become a general parallel processor that can be used by all applications.

Thank you for reading this article carefully. I hope the article "what is the graphics card cuda in the computer" shared by the editor will be helpful to everyone. At the same time, I also hope that you will support us and pay attention to the industry information channel. More related knowledge is waiting for you to learn!
