Workshop Objectives

Introduce techniques/ tools available based on NVIDIA's CUDA environment.

Enable participants to quickly get started with writing their own parallel codes on GPGPU.

Provide hands-on experience in parallel programming.

These special sessions will provide the rich hands-on experience with various languages and tools covered in the lectures.

They comprise a brief introduction to the programming assignments, followed by independent work periods.

To help with the assignments, teaching assistants will be available in person and via the web.

Present case studies from different application domains.

By the end of the workshop, participants will

Be exposed to computational thinking skills for accelerating applications in science and engineering.
Understand the most important architectural performance considerations for developing parallel applications.
Be able to design algorithms that are appropriate for accelerators.
Engage computing accelerators on science and engineering breakthroughs.

Workshop Prerequisites

Participants must have a sound knowledge of C, C++ programming. Participants who are going to participate in CUDATHON (Programming Contest), are required to bring their own laptops.
