CUDA Graphs are a way to define and batch GPU operations as a graph rather than a sequence of stream launches. A CUDA Graph groups a set of CUDA kernels and other CUDA operations together and executes them with a specified dependency tree. It speeds up the workflow by combining the driver activities associated with CUDA kernel launches and CUDA API calls. It also enforces the dependencies with…
