You will need either a desktop PC or a docking station in which you can install a suitable GPU card. Here is a list of CUDA GPUs. I suggest you use at least a GTX260 or better.

You will also need to download and install the CUDA Toolkit 3.2

A good introductory book is "CUDA by Example: An Introduction to General-Purpose GPU Programming" by Jason Sanders and Edward Kandrot. CUDA U also has online courses to help you get started programming with CUDA. See CUDA Training.

The online University of Illinois ECE 498AL course material and videos are especially good.
