NVIDIA Performance Primitives
Version 3.2
NVIDIA NPP is a library of functions for performing CUDA accelerated processing. The initial set of functionality in the library focuses on imaging and video processing and is widely applicable for developers in these areas. NPP will evolve over time to encompass more of the compute heavy tasks in a variety of problem domains. The NPP library is written to maximize flexibility, while maintaining high performance.
NPP can be used in one of two ways:
- A stand-alone library for adding GPU acceleration to an application with minimal effort. Using this route allows developers to add GPU acceleration to their applications in a matter of hours.
- A cooperative library for interoperating with a developer's GPU code efficiently.
Either route allows developers to harness the massive compute resources of NVIDIA GPUs, while simultaneously reducing development times.
