Good beginners tutorial on CUDA?

Question

I am looking for some good beginners tutorial for learning the basics of CUDA.

Answer 1

CUDA has great documentation from nVidia. You can also find more resources on the Wikipedia page.

Keep in mind, though, that CUDA isn't necessarily beginner-friendly. You'll need to know how to program first, then jump into CUDA.

Answer 2

Some good links for you:

• Developing With CUDA - Introduction
• Volume I: Introduction to CUDA Programming
• Getting started with CUDA
• CUDA Resources List

Take a look on the last item, you will find many link to learn CUDA.

Answer 3

Reading the programmers guide which comes with the toolkit is a very good start.

The SDK comes with a lot of examples and accompanying documentation. I really like the "Particles" demo.

Answer 4

The Dr Dobbs Journal series CUDA: Supercomputing for the masses by Rob Farmer is excellent and covers just about everything in its fourteen installments. It also starts rather gently and is therefore fairly beginner-friendly.
