对于处理基于图形加速器的计算系统的人员来说，山德尔、康洛特编著的《CUDA范例精解——通用GPU编程（影印版）》是必不可少的读物。向程序员展示了如何使用这种新的技术，并且通过大量可以运行的示例介绍了CUDA开发的每个领域。

CUDA是设计用于帮助开发并行程序的计算体系结构。通过与广泛的软件平台相结合，CUDA体系结构使程序员可以充分利用图形处理单元（GPU）的强大能力构建高性能的应用程序。当然，GPU已经在很长时间内用于实现复杂的图形和游戏应用程序。现在，CUDA将这种极具价值的资源带给在其他领域内从事应用程序开发的程序员，包括科学、工程和财务领域。这些程序员完全不需要了解图形编程的相关知识，而只要能够采用适当扩展的C语言版本进行编程即可。

山德尔、康洛特编著的《CUDA范例精解——通用GPU编程（影印版）》由CUDA软件平台团队中的两位资深成员编写而成，他们向程序员展示了如何使用这种新的技术，并且通过大量可以运行的示例介绍了CUDA开发的每个领域。在简要介绍CUDA平台和体系结构以及快速指导CUDA C之后，《CUDA范例精解——通用GPU编程（影印版）》详细介绍了与每个关键的CUDA功能相关的技术，以及如何权衡使用这些功能。通过阅读本书，您将掌握使用每个CUDA C扩展的时机以及编写性能极为优越的CUDA软件的方式。
