CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing platform and programming model developed by NVIDIA that lets developers use GPUs for general-purpose computing, not just graphics rendering. It's widely used by data scientists, machine learning engineers, and researchers to accelerate deep learning training, scientific simulations, and other computationally intensive workloads on NVIDIA hardware. CUDA underpins major ML frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow when running on GPU.
