,→NVidia Software overview
NVidia CUDA is their general purpose compute framework. CUDA has a C++ compiler based on LLVM / clang, which compiles into an assembly-like language called PTX. NVidia device drivers take PTX and compile that down to the final machine code (called NVidia SASS). NVidia keeps PTX portable between its GPUs, while its SASS assembly language may change from year-to-year as NVidia releases new GPUs.
