CUDA™ is a general purpose parallel computing architecture introduced by NVIDIA that enables the GPU to solve complex computational problems. It includes the CUDA Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and the parallel compute engine in the GPU. To program to the CUDA™ architecture, developers can, today, use C, one of the most widely used high-level programming languages, which can then be run at great performance on a CUDA™ enabled processor. Other languages will be supported in the future, including FORTRAN and C++.
With 100M CUDA™ enabled processors sold to date, NVIDIA GPUs provide the only mass market parallel compute platform that reaches far beyond what NVIDIA is best known for - creating brilliant graphics for laptops, workstations and desktop PCs. CUDA is available on almost all shipping NVIDIA GPUs -- for a complete list, please check CUDA-Enabled Products.
