Reddit netizen chduckie posted on the NVIDIA sub section that he found an unusual "big file" in the NVIDIA CUDA folder on the hard disk Compared with other codes less than 10 KB, the volume of this document is as high as 3212 KB. At that time, chduckie was searching her hard disk drive, but unexpectedly found this TXT document "colored egg" containing the full text of war and peace.
(Figure via wccftech ) The
Out of curiosity, he opened the file with vs code. After all, for a regular Notepad (notepad.exe) application, the size of the txt document is a little too large.
As a result, in this 65340 line document, the first thing that came into view was Leo Tolstoy's Gutenberg project, the e-book war and peace.
Despite some doubts, some netizens gave a relatively reasonable explanation. It is reported that NVIDIA CUDA, as a computing platform and programming model, developers can carry out a series of general accelerated computing on the company's GPU.
Then jlouis8 posted a code example on GitHub (portal ) , demonstrates how to create a small CUDA kernel to calculate the number of letters W, x, y, and Z in some data (such as the e-book war and peace).
The reason why I chose this e-book is not difficult to understand. First, NVIDIA can freely include without infringing copyright; Secondly, the amount of original text is large enough, but it is fast enough to complete on CUDA (GPU) hardware.
