Project 4 - CUDA support

Project start: 28 December 2021

Project finish: 31 December 2021

Objective: add CUDA support to relevant Python modules

CUDA: generally allows use of Graphic Processing Unit (GPU)

GPUs are designed to process tensor operations which are not only relevant to graphic applications but also to machine learning applications.

Use of a GPU increases speed but not add functionality, except in the sense of making some functionality fast enough to be practical.

The Jetson Nano has one 128 core Maxwell GPU.

Use of a GPU is relevant to TensorFlow, OpenCV (both already intalled) and YOLO (not yet installed). We'll check current installations of TensorFlow and OpenCV and update as required. YOLO will be installed from scratch with CUDA support.
