1
CUDA, a parallel computing platform that allows you to use your GPU for more than just playing video games.
2
Compute Unified Device Architecture was developed by NVIDIA in 2007 based on the prior work of Ian Buck and John Nichols.
3
Since then, CUDA has revolutionized the world by allowing humans to compute large blocks of data in parallel, which has unlocked the true potential of the deep neural networks behind artificial intelligence.
4
The Graphics Processing Unit, or GPU, is historically used for what the name implies, to compute graphics.
5
When you play a game in 1080p at 60fps, you've got over 2 million pixels on the screen that may need to be recalculated after every frame,
6
which requires hardware that can do a lot of matrix multiplication and vector transformations in parallel.
7
And I mean a lot.
8
Modern GPUs are measured in teraflops, or how many trillions of floating point operations can it handle per second?
9
Unlike modern CPUs like the Intel i9, which has 24 cores, a modern GPU like the RTX 4090 has over 16,000 cores.
10
A CPU is designed to be versatile, while a GPU is designed to go really fast in parallel.
11
CUDA allows developers to tap into the GPU's power, and data scientists all around the world are using at this very moment, trying to train the most powerful machine learning models.
12
It works like this.
13
You write a function, called a CUDA kernel, that runs on the GPU.
14
You then copy some data from your main RAM over to the GPU's memory, then the CPU will tell the GPU to execute that function or kernel in parallel.
15
The code is executed in a block, which itself organizes threads into a multi-dimensional grid.
16
Then the final result from the GPU is copied back to the main memory.
17
Piece of cake, let's go ahead and build a CUDA application right now.
18
First you'll need an NVIDIA GPU, then install the CUDA toolkit.
19
CUDA includes device drivers, runtime, compilers, and dev tools, but the actual code is most often written in C++, as I'm doing here in Visual Studio.
20
First, we use the global specifier to define a function or CUDA kernel that runs on the actual GPU.
21
This function adds two vectors or arrays together.
22
It takes pointer arguments A and B, which are the two vectors to be added together, and pointer C for the result.
23
C equals A plus B, but because hypothetically we're doing billions of operations in parallel, we need to calculate the global index of the thread in the block that we're working on.
24
From there, we can use managed, which tells CUDA this data can be accessed from both the host CPU and the device GPU, without the need to manually copy data between them.
25
And now we can write a main function for the CPU that runs the CUDA kernel.
26
We use a for loop to initialize our arrays with data, then from there, we pass this data to the add function to run it on the GPU.
27
But you might be wondering what these weird triple brackets are.
28
They allow us to configure the CUDA kernel launch to control how many blocks
29
and how many threads per block are used to run this code in parallel.
30
And that's crucial for optimizing multi-dimensional data structures like tensors used in deep learning.
31
From there, CUDA Device Synchronize will pause the execution of this code and wait for it to complete on the GPU.
32
When it finishes and copies the data back to the host machine, we can then use the result and print it to the standard output.
33
Now, let's execute this code with a CUDA compiler by clicking the play button.
34
Congratulations, you just ran 256 threads in parallel on your GPU.
35
But if you want to go beyond, NVIDIA's GTC conference is coming up in a few weeks.
36
It's free to attend virtually, featuring talks about building massive parallel systems with CUDA.
37
Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next one.

本节课学习要点
通过观看这段关于NVIDIA CUDA的视频，你将练习听懂科技类英语内容，同时提升影子跟读（shadowing）技巧。视频中涉及并行计算、GPU工作原理等专业知识，语速适中且逻辑清晰，非常适合用来训练听力理解和口语流畅度。你还能学到如何在实际语境中运用科技词汇，为雅思口语练习或专业英语表达打下基础。
核心词汇与短语
- parallel computing：并行计算（指同时处理多个计算任务）
- GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)：图形处理器（与CPU相对，擅长并行运算）
- CUDA kernel：CUDA内核（在GPU上运行的函数）
- teraflops：太拉浮点运算/秒（衡量计算性能的单位）
- device synchronize：设备同步（使CPU等待GPU完成运算）
影子跟读练习技巧
视频讲解部分语速平稳，专业术语较多，建议先逐句跟读，重点关注提高英语发音的准确性，尤其是多音节词如“architecture”“versatile”。影子跟读时，可先暂停视频，模仿 speaker 的语调与重音，再尝试实时跟读。对于“CUDA toolkit”“multi-dimensional grid”等短语，注意连读和弱读现象。若觉得难度大，可使用shadowing site辅助练习，反复播放关键片段。坚持练习能有效提升口语流畅度，对雅思口语练习也大有裨益。记得观察 speaker 如何用简洁语言解释复杂概念，这能帮助你在表达时更有条理。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
