Nvidia CUDA Compiler

Nvidia CUDA Compiler

NVCC is Nvidia's CUDA compiler. CUDA codes runs on both CPU and GPU, and NVCC separate these two parts and send host code (the part of code which will be run on CPU) to a C compiler like GCC or ICC or Microsoft Visual C Compiler, and send the device code (the part which will run on GPU) to GPU. By the way, the device code further compiled by NVCC.
