CUDA is a powerful program package that enables you to develop, test, optimize and deploy new applications, as well as increase your computing power and performance.

Components

During installation, you can choose from four components. CUDA is the main module which provides the development environment, Nsight Systems, Visual Studio integration and more. Other options include, NVIDIA GeForce Experience, the driver components and the PhysX engine.

Main functions

Using this utility, you get access to a set of instruments for implementing parallel algorithms using various programming languages. You can improve the computing power and overall performance of your computer by managing your CPU and GPU.

Moreover, you are able to use the extensive libraries to create applications for different types of purposes such as advanced calculations, signal and image processing, as well as motion tracking. But before trying the actual tools, it is good to know that the software comes with detailed documentation and a large collection of samples and resources.

Nsight capabilities

It is worth mentioning that the Nsight component contained in the CUDA package will add some extra functions to your environment such as an interactive kernel profiler, a graphics utility for debugging and profiling, as well as a performance analysis tool.
