VSCSE Class: Harness the Power of GPUs: Introduction to GPUPU Programming — June 16-20

The course, offered by the Virtual School of Computational Science and Engineering, is a mixture of lectures and labs.  It introduces all levels of parallelism as well as common approaches for parallelization in order to achieve the following goal: Better utilization of the GPUs by enabling more scientists to use them, better understanding of the efficiency in the GPU utilization by the application developers, and a higher job throughput by enabling more resources and shortening job runtimes. In addition, the course enables participants to understand and avoid the common pitfalls of parallel computing, learn CUDA and OpenACC, understand the basic principles of data parallel computing, tap into a lot of computing power, even on a laptop and speed up their research.
