- GPGPU – General Purpose GPU (i.e., not just for optimized graphics processing)
CUDA is
- a parallel computing platform and API model created by Nvidia. –Wikipedia
- more than a library for a programming language(s)
- an extension of C/C++ to allow programmers to use nVidia GPU cards for GPGPU programming
