CUDA lingo !

CUDA lingo, often used in CUDA literature

Device : An individual GPU will be referred to as a device.

Host : The CPU will be referred to as a host.

Thread: Concurrent code and associated state executed on the CUDA device (in parallel with other threads). The fine grain unit of parallelism in CUDA

Warp: a group of threads executed physically in parallel in G80. Technically a half-warp is executed “simultaneously”

Block: A group of threads that are executed together and form the unit of resource assignment

Grid: A group of thread blocks that must all complete before the next phase of the program can begin on the GPU.
