    CUDA is when a program can use the NVIDIA GPU in addition to the CPU for some complicated calculations. AMD now made it possible to use their cards for it too.

      I know what CUDA does (as someone who likes rendering stuff, but with AMD cards, I’ve missed it). I’m trying to figure out, realistically, how I can easily deploy and make use of it on my linux and Mac workstations.

      the details o’ve come across lately have been a bit… vague.

      edit: back when I was in design school, I heard, “when Adobe loves a video card very much, it will hardware accelerate. We call this ‘CUDA’."
