NVIDIA's parallel computing platform and programming model for general computing on GPUs.
CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) allows developers to write programs that execute on NVIDIA GPUs. It provides both low-level access to GPU hardware and high-level libraries for common operations. CUDA is essential for AI/ML training, scientific computing, and other parallel workloads.
