CUDA course

Introduction course Programming on the GPU with CUDA

 organized for
Researchers and Students (PhD, MSc) 
June 8, 2012

The Graphics Processing Unit or GPU is used more and more for Scientific Computing. For relatively low costs one can obtain supercomputer performance. It appears however that some work has to be done to make an ordinary program suitable for use on the GPU. One of the important tools is the development of CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture). This is an extension of the C programming language, which can be used to program the GPU in an easy way. We recommend having a (rudimentary) understanding of a C-like programming language, such as C++, Java or similar. We also give some information about the OpenCL initiative. In this 1-day course the basic principles are given to understand programming on the GPU and do it yourselves during a laboratory session. After this course you should be able to make simple CUDA programs which can be run on the GPU.
