## Introduction

Parallel computing allows you to perform many calculations simultaneously, leveraging the power of modern multi-core processors and GPUs. CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing platform and application programming interface (API) model created by NVIDIA. It allows developers to use GPUs for general purpose processing.

This repository aims to provide a structured path to learn parallel computing and CUDA programming from scratch. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, you'll find valuable resources and practical examples to enhance your understanding.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

- Basic understanding of programming concepts
- Familiarity with C/C++ programming languages
- Basic understanding of computer architecture
- Familiarity with algorithms and data structures
- A CUDA-capable NVIDIA GPU

## Getting Started

To get started with this repository:

1. **Clone the repository**:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/aaditya29/Parallel-Computing-And-CUDA
cd Parallel-Computing-And-CUDA
```

2. **Set up your development environment:** Configure your IDE or text editor for CUDA development.

3. **Explore the tutorials and examples**:
- Navigate through the directories and start with the basic tutorials to get a grasp of fundamental concepts.

## Core Concepts
