NVIDIA has announced the release of CUDA Toolkit 7.5, a parallel computing platform and programming model for enhancing high-performance computing by leveraging the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU). To take advantage of the CUDA<\/a> features on requires any one or more of the CUDA-enabled GPUs. <\/p>\n

CUDA eliminates the need for Assembly when programming on the GPU<\/a>. The programmer can basically use C, C++<\/a> and Fortran code to access the GPU features directly.<\/p>\n

With modern GPUs doing more than just Graphics processing, GPUs are being used for anything from medicine to finance to running server farms.<\/p>\n

NVIDIA’s first GPU was released in 1999 and years later NVIDIA<\/a> released CUDA the solution for general computing on GPUs. That was in 2006. Fast forward to 2015. NVIDIA now has a new version of CUDA.<\/p>\n

What’s new in CUDA Toolkit 7.5?<\/h2>\n

CUDA 7.5 introduces a bunch of new features including:<\/p>\n
