Introduction
Welcome to CUDA for Engineers. The goal of this book is to give you direct, hands-on engagement with personal high-performance computing. If you follow along on our foray into the CUDA world, you will gain the benefit of massive parallelism and be able to perform computations on a basic gaming computer that until very recently required a supercomputer. The material presented in this book will help you make sense of more sophisticated CUDA literature and pursue your own CUDA projects.
Let’s get started by explaining CUDA and our strategy for getting up to speed as efficiently as possible.
