Programmingcapabilities

TheCUDAplatformisaccessibletosoftwaredevelopersthroughCUDAacceleratedlibraries,compilerdirectivessuchasOpenACC,andextensionstoindustrystandardprogramminglanguagesincludingC,C++andFortran.C/C++programmersuse'CUDAC/C++',compiledwith"nvcc"NVIDIA'sLLVMbasedC/C++compiler.[4]Fortranprogrammerscanuse'CUDAFortran',compiledwiththePGICUDAFortrancompilerfromThePortlandGroup.

Inadditiontolibraries,compilerdirectives,CUDAC/C++andCUDAFortran,theCUDAplatformsupportsothercomputationalinterfaces,includingtheKhronosGroup'sOpenCL,[5]Microsoft'sDirectCompute,OpenGLComputeShaders(http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Compute_Shader)andC++AMP.[6]ThirdpartywrappersarealsoavailableforPython,Perl,Fortran,Java,Ruby,Lua,Haskell,R,MATLAB,IDL,andnativesupportinMathematica.

Inthecomputergameindustry,GPUsareusednotonlyforgraphicsrenderingbutalsoingamephysicscalculations(physicaleffectssuchasdebris,smoke,fire,fluids)examplesincludePhysXandBullet.CUDAhasalsobeenusedtoacceleratenongraphicalapplicationsincomputationalbiology,cryptographyandotherfieldsbyanorderofmagnitudeormore.[7][8][9][10][11]

Advantages



CUDAhasseveraladvantagesovertraditionalgeneralpurposecomputationonGPUs(GPGPU)usinggraphicsAPIs:
