| - | <TODO> | + | This workshop introduces the concept of GPU computing - the ability to write general-purpose, non-graphical applications that can be processed by a modern GPU. Since 2001 GPUs have become programmable processors, initially capable of only handling graphical applications like video games or professional visualization tools. Currently, however, they are much more capable: based on a highly parallel, many-core architecture, GPUs are being used in a large number of high-performance computing domains, such as computational physics, computer vision, computational finance, medical imaging and many others. |
| + | In this workshop, you will learn more about what makes a GPU so powerful and how you can use it to accelerate your own computational tasks. It also introduces CUDA as a stable and mature API for NVIDIA-based GPUs, coupled with several useful development tools bundled under NSIGHT - a highly capable and easy-to-use toolkit which integrates with popular IDEs like Visual Studio or Eclipse. | ||
| + | The hands-on tasks will familiarize you with the parallel programming model exposed by CUDA and show you how you can optimize your code to squeeze more performance out of the GPU. | ||

| - | If you are interested in learning the fundamentals of OpenCL or simply eager to take a first step in the world of parallel programming with GPUs, then you're definitely part of the target audience. You are expected to be familiar with computer architecture and have good C programming knowledge. | + | * basic to intermediate C / C++ programming knowledge |
| - | == Registration == | + | * basic knowledge of parallel programming concepts (threads, barriers etc.) |
| + | * basic notions of a computing system's architecture (CPU, RAM, GPU etc.) | ||
| - | To register for this workshop, please fill in the [[http://goo.gl/forms/uQQEMiW5GU|form]]. | + | This workshop is addressed to people who are curious to learn how a modern GPU can be programmed to run numerically-intensive non-graphical applications. Knowledge of a typical computing system's architecture is necessary to better understand how the GPU fits in as a high-performance computing accelerator. C / C ++ programming knowledge and parallel programming concepts will be needed during the hands-on sessions. |
| - | Please try to just be yourself and provide honest and simple answers. We want to get a better idea about what you already know and what you would like to learn, but also to polish the last details of the training materials according to your requirements and preference. | + | |
| - | For any questions regarding this workshop, please feel free to contact the trainer. | + | |
