CUDA#
NVIDIA® CUDA® is a general purpose parallel computing architecture introduced by NVIDIA. It includes the CUDA Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and the parallel compute engine in the GPU. To program to the CUDA architecture, developers can use C, one of the most widely used high-level programming languages, which can then be run at great performance on a CUDA-enabled processor
The NVIDIA® CUDA® Toolkit provides a comprehensive development environment for C and C++ developers building GPU-accelerated applications. The CUDA Toolkit includes a compiler for NVIDIA GPUs, math libraries, and tools for debugging and optimizing the performance of your applications. You’ll also find programming guides, user manuals, API reference, and other documentation to help you get started quickly accelerating your application with GPUs.

Note#
This module does not set the CPATH environment variable.
This is intentional to avoid affecting non-CUDA compilations, as
CPATH applies globally to all builds. If you need to include CUDA
headers in your compilation, please use:
-I$CUDA_HOME/include
This ensures your build system explicitly includes CUDA headers only when needed, keeping your environment clean and predictable.
