NVIDIA CUDA-X

GPU-Accelerated Libraries

NVIDIA CUDA-X™, built on NVIDIA CUDA®, is a collection of libraries, tools, and technologies that deliver dramatically higher performance—compared to CPU-only alternatives—across application domains, including AI and high-performance computing.

NVIDIA libraries run everywhere from resource-constrained IoT devices to self-driving cars to the largest supercomputers on the planet. As a result, users receive highly optimized implementations of an ever-expanding set of algorithms. Whether building a new application or accelerating an existing application, developers can tap NVIDIA libraries for the easiest way to get started with GPU acceleration.
