Development toolkit for programmers to access the advanced set of features available from the Nvidia Graphics Processing Unit in C and C++
Nvidia CUDA Toolkit is a powerful and reliable freeware CUDA development app and video tweak, developed by Nvidia for Windows.
The download has been tested by an editor here on a PC and a list of features has been compiled; see below. We've also created some screenshots of Nvidia CUDA Toolkit to illustrate the user interface and show the overall usage and features of this CUDA development program.
Provides for a development environment for Nvidia graphics cards
NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit provides a development environment for creating high performance GPU-accelerated applications. With the CUDA Toolkit, you can develop, optimize and deploy your applications on GPU-accelerated embedded systems, desktop workstations, enterprise data centers, cloud-based platforms and HPC supercomputers. The toolkit includes GPU-accelerated libraries, debugging and optimization tools, a C/C++ compiler and a runtime library to deploy your application.
GPU-accelerated CUDA libraries enable drop-in acceleration across multiple domains such as linear algebra, image and video processing, deep learning and graph analytics. For developing custom algorithms, you can use available integration with commonly used languages and numerical packages as well as well-published development APIs.
