(iv) Writing to frame buffer: The finished pixel colours are written into an area of memory called the frame buffer. The maths of neural networks is in the form of matrix and tensor operations. CUDA is Nvidia’s software platform to run general-purpose computation (like processing a signal or analysing data) on Nvidia GPUs. As a result, switching away from using Nvidia GPUs also means changing software, which companies don’t like to do. In fact, many buyers consider Nvidia GPUs running CUDA software to be the default platform for training and using neural networks at scale.
