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