CUDA Toolkit

The CUDA Toolkit is a set of software tools created by NVIDIA that allows developers to utilize the power of NVIDIA graphics cards for general-purpose computing. It enables programmers to write applications that can perform complex calculations much faster by using the parallel processing capabilities of GPUs (graphics processing units). This is particularly useful in fields like scientific computing, machine learning, and video processing, where large amounts of data need to be processed simultaneously. Essentially, it helps harness the performance of modern graphics cards for tasks beyond just rendering images.
