Framework

/ˈoʊpən-siː-ɛl/

n. “An open standard for cross-platform parallel computing on CPUs, GPUs, and other processors.”

OpenCL, short for Open Computing Language, is a framework for writing programs that execute across heterogeneous platforms, including CPUs, GPUs, digital signal processors (DSPs), and other processors. Unlike proprietary solutions like CUDA, OpenCL is vendor-agnostic, enabling developers to target multiple hardware types from a single codebase.

/paɪ-ˈkuː-də/

n. “A Python library that lets developers access CUDA from Python programs.”

PyCUDA is a Python wrapper for NVIDIA CUDA, enabling developers to write high-performance parallel programs for GPUs directly from Python. It combines Python’s ease of use with the computational power of CUDA, allowing rapid development, experimentation, and integration with scientific or AI workflows.

/ˈkuː-də/

n. “A parallel computing platform and programming model for NVIDIA GPUs.”

CUDA, short for Compute Unified Device Architecture, is a proprietary parallel computing platform and application programming interface (API) developed by NVIDIA. It enables software developers to harness the massive parallel processing power of NVIDIA GPUs for general-purpose computing tasks beyond graphics, such as scientific simulations, deep learning, and data analytics.

/ˌɛs-ɛs-ˈɑːr/

n. “Rendering pages on the server so users get fully formed HTML right away.”

SSR, short for Server-Side Rendering, is a web development technique where HTML pages are generated on the server for each incoming request, instead of relying solely on client-side JavaScript to build the page in the browser. This approach ensures that users and search engines receive fully rendered content immediately.

Key characteristics of SSR include:

/ˌɛs-ɛs-ˈdʒiː/

n. “Pre-build your pages so they’re ready before the user arrives.”

SSG, short for Static Site Generation, is a web development approach where HTML pages are generated at build time rather than on each user request. Instead of dynamically rendering pages on the server or in the browser, the site’s content is compiled ahead of time into static files, which can be served quickly by a CDN or web server.

Key benefits of SSG include:

/ˌɛs-piː-ˈeɪ/

n. “A web app that loads once and lives in the browser.”

SPA, short for Single-Page Application, is a type of web application or website that dynamically updates a single HTML page as the user interacts with it, rather than loading entirely new pages from the server for each action. This approach delivers faster navigation, smoother user experiences, and more app-like behavior in the browser.

Key characteristics of an SPA include:

/ˈtɛn.sərˌfloʊ/

n. “A machine learning framework that turns math into machinery.”

TensorFlow is an open-source machine learning framework developed by Google for building, training, and deploying machine learning and deep learning models at scale. It provides a comprehensive ecosystem of tools, libraries, and abstractions that allow developers and researchers to move from raw data to trained models to production systems without switching platforms.

/ˈæŋɡjələr/

n. “A framework that turns complexity into structured interactivity.”

Angular is a TypeScript-based front-end web application framework developed and maintained by Google. It allows developers to build dynamic, single-page applications (SPAs) using a component-driven architecture, reactive programming patterns, and declarative templates. Unlike libraries such as React, which focus on the view layer, Angular provides a complete ecosystem, including routing, forms, HTTP services, and dependency injection.

/nɛkst dʒeɪ ɛs/

n. “The framework that makes React feel like magic.”

Next.js is a React-based framework designed to simplify building fast, scalable, and production-ready web applications. It extends React by providing built-in server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), routing, and API routes — features that normally require additional configuration or libraries.

/riˈækt/

n. “A library that thinks fast and renders faster.”

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces, primarily for web applications. Created by Facebook, it allows developers to design complex, interactive UIs by breaking them down into reusable components. Each component manages its own state and renders efficiently when that state changes, providing a reactive user experience.
