This week NVIDIA has announced the release of its latest CUDA development environment in the form of the CUDA 11.6 Toolkit which is now available to download directly from the NVIDIA developer site. The latest CUDA 11.6 release focuses on enhancing the programming model and performance of your CUDA applications. NVIDIA explains a little more : “CUDA continues to push the boundaries of GPU acceleration and lay the foundation for new applications in HPC, visualization, AI, ML and DL, and data science”.
Those of you unfamiliar with CUDA or Compute Unified Device Architecture it takes the form of a parallel computing platform and application programming interface (API) that allows software to use certain types of graphics processing unit (GPU) for general purpose processing. CUDA is a software layer that gives direct access to the GPU’s virtual instruction set and parallel computational elements, for the execution of compute kernels.
