Programmers will finally be able to harness the full computing power of Nvidia’s latest GPUs, code-named Hopper, with new software tools released by the company on Monday. Nvidia is now shipping its CUDA 12 programming tools, which are the driving force behind the company’s future in artificial intelligence and graphics.
“As soon as the hardware was ready, we wanted to go out and put CUDA 12 into people’s hands,” Jones said.
Nvidia’s GPUs have now become a mainstay in AI computing, and CUDA’s popularity as a software stack has surged.
To get the best of CUDA 12, programmers will need to have systems with Hopper GPUs, which are not widely available yet.
