CUDA core

CUDA core

A floating point unit in an NVIDIA graphics card. There can be thousands of CUDA cores in an NVIDIA GPU; however, these are not the same as CPU cores. A CPU core is a complete processing unit that can fetch, decode and execute an instruction in RAM (see ALU). A CUDA core performs only floating point math. See CUDA and GPU.
