You have to move to a new town and are looking to hire a furniture mover company. To better explain the key concept behind parallel computing, let me give you a more "realistic" example. I will cover parallel computing in detail in later articles, but if I had to outline in a few words what parallel computing is I would say that it is the partition of repetitive (and therefore often time consuming) tasks into singular tasks, each of which is performed by a single core or processing unit. GPU computing is a new branch of computer science and, more specifically, of parallel computing. CUDA is a proprietary programming language developed by NVIDIA for GPU programming, and in the last few years it has become the standard for GPU computing. In this guide I will explain how to install CUDA 6.0 for Mac OS X.
This is the first article in a series that I will write about on the topic of parallel programming and CUDA.
