Narrado por: Virtual Voice

This book provides a comprehensive, hands-on journey through the entire NVIDIA ecosystem, designed to take you from a novice in parallel programming to a proficient architect of cloud-native, GPU-accelerated AI services. It is meticulously crafted for students and professionals in the field of Computer Science and Engineering.

Philosophy
The core philosophy of this book is to present the NVIDIA platform as a cohesive, end-to-end "full stack." Traditional resources often treat CUDA programming, AI frameworks, and model deployment as separate disciplines. This book dismantles those silos. I believe that a modern AI engineer must understand the entire lifecycle of an application: from the low-level CUDA kernels that execute on the hardware, to the high-level Python frameworks used for training, to the cloud-native tools required for scalable, production-grade deployment. This approach provides a holistic understanding that is essential for building efficient, robust, and maintainable systems in the real world.
