CUDA Developers

Employ CUDA Developers

CUDA or Computing Unified Device Architecture is a parallel computing platform and programming style that caters to the exceptional processing power of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) for non-graphics or general purposes. It allows software acceleration by having multiple demanding components executed concurrently on several GPU cores while letting the central processing unit tackle other consecutive components.

GPU-accelerated software requires the Central Processing Unit (CPU) to concentrate on one thread at a time. To develop these programs, NVIDIA, the primary developer of CUDA, offers a comprehensive development environment that includes debuggers, optimizers, libraries, compilers, and other tools. The CUDA Toolkit supports several programming languages, including C, C++, Fortran, Python, and MATLAB. With CUDA, software can be deployed across multiple hardware configurations, including cloud environments, data centres, workstations, and embedded devices. CUDA’s versatility makes it an excellent option for users looking for a way to extend and develop their programs across various GPU configurations.

Explore what CUDA entails.

Since its first release on June 23rd, 2007, NVIDIA’s CUDA software library has been the first available universal computing solution for Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). CUDA now supports Microsoft Windows and the Linux operating system. A new version of CUDA was introduced on May 20th, 2021, making it even more user-friendly. CUDA Toolkit provides developers with sample programs, user manuals, API references, programming guides, and other resources to aid in learning CUDA. With these tools, developers can readily master CUDA development and maximise GPU power for their applications.

CUDA has a wide range of applications and can be adapted to various contexts, including but not limited to climate modelling, weather forecasting, medical imaging, computational fluid dynamics, computational science, environmental science, bioinformatics, numerical analytics, image processing, deep learning, computational chemistry, machine learning, and data science.

Key Features of CUDA

  • CUDA Compiler –

    CUDA 5.0 added the capacity to compile C++ programs, NVRTC shared library versioning, and the CUDA device linker. Cu++flt helps users to read tangled functions with ease. Additionally, the device linker enables users to create a call graph of their device, which aids in performance analysis and optimisation.
  • C++ Support Library –

    The Standard C++ Library for CUDA or libcu++ simplifies the implementation of C++ code for Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Central Processing Units (CPUs). This library is optimised for specific hardware, and certain keys are included to enhance functionality. The library is available to everyone via GitHub, where it can be accessed and downloaded.
  • Stream-Like Memory Allocation

    CUDA’s latest version introduced Stream-Ordered Memory Allocation, a groundbreaking feature that enables CUDA programs to manage the allocation and deallocation of memory in a specific order. This feature empowers users to direct and share memory pools across several segments of their application. The highlight of this functionality is that it grants users the flexibility to allocate and free memory following their application’s specific order.
  • CUDA Graphics Library

    CUDA Graphs are a series of interdependent steps that are separated from the operations being executed. The exciting features of CUDA Graphs include stream capture composability, user objects, and a debug API. The graph does not need to be defined multiple times, as a single definition can be used throughout the process, and it can be employed for numerous launches.

Are you looking for an expert CUDA Developer to assist you with your project? If so, Works is here to help! Our team comprises a pool of qualified professionals, including freelancers, employees, and contractors, who can provide you with the CUDA development services you need. Irrespective of your location, Works can link you up with a CUDA Developer capable of fulfilling your unique requirements.

Work on a Freelance or Contract Basis

It can be difficult for highly skilled professionals to secure permanent positions in their respective fields due to job scarcity in many industries. Many businesses tend to hire independent contractors or freelancers, instead of full-time CUDA developers, owing to the cost-effectiveness and flexibility of such a model. Unlike traditional employment, freelance work offers the freedom to work at one’s own pace and convenience. Freelance CUDA developers in the UK can earn an average of US$39.07 (£28.21) per hour, depending on the workload they take on. Freelance assignments may last between four to eight hours per day.

Recognised by the CUDA

In the current cut-throat business environment, employers are often on the lookout for professionals who possess a CUDA certification. Therefore, it is crucial to undergo certification training to maintain a competitive edge. Luckily, there are numerous online courses available that can help you obtain a CUDA certification quickly and easily. These courses provide comprehensive instruction on the program’s fundamentals, conveyed through organised and accessible video tutorials. This will enable you to apply the theory to real-world scenarios and develop innovative solutions to problems. With a CUDA certification, you will be in high demand and have more abundant employment opportunities.
