The CUDA Paradigm
CUDA is an NVIDIA-only product. It is very popular, and got the whole GPU-as-CPU ball rolling, which has resulted in other packages like OpenCL.
CUDA also comes with several libraries that are highly optimized for applications such as linear algebra and deep learning.

CUDA wants you to break the problem up into Pieces
ArrayMult( int n, float *a, float *b, float *c) {
for(inti=0; i
Note that this is just like calling the C/C++ function:
KernelFunction( arg1, arg2, … ) ;
except that we have designated it to run on the GPU with a particular block/thread configuration.

Getting CUDA Programs to Run under Visual Studio
1. Install Visual Studio if you haven’t already. If you are an OSU student, go to:
https://azureforeducation.microsoft.com/devtools
Click the blue Sign In button on the right.
Login using your username and password.
2. Install the CUDA toolkit. It is available here:

Getting CUDA Programs to Run under Visual Studio
1. Visual Studio then “writes” a program for you. It has both CUDA and C++ code in it. Its structure looks just like our notes’ examples.
2. You can click Build → Build to compile it, both the C++ and the CUDA code.
3. You can click Debug → Start Without Debugging to run it.
4. You can then either modify this file, or clear it and paste your own code in.

1. Un-zip the ArrayMul2019.zip file into its own folder.
2. Rename that folder to what you want it to be.
3. Rename arrayMul.cu to whatever you want it to be (keeping the .cu extension). Without the .cu extension, we will call this the basename.
4. Rename the .sln and .vcxproj files to have the same basename as your .cu file has.
5. Edit the *.sln file. Replace all occurrences of “arrayMul” to what the basename is.
6. Edit the *.vcxproj file. Replace all occurrences of “arrayMul” with the basename. Replace all occurrences of ArrayMul2019 with whatever you renamed the folder to.
7. In the .cu file, rename the CUDA function from ArrayMul to whatever you want it to be. Do this twice, once in the definition of the function and once in the calling of the function.
8. Now modify the CUDA code to perform the computation you require.
