Fundamentals of Accelerated Computing with CUDA C/C++ (Part 1 of 2)
This two-part workshop teaches the fundamental tools and techniques for accelerating C/C++ applications to run on massively parallel GPUs with CUDA®.
Participants will learn how to write code, configure code parallelization with CUDA, optimize memory migration between the CPU and GPU accelerator, and implement the workflow learned on a new task—accelerating a fully functional, but CPU-only, particle simulator for observable massive performance gains. At the end of the workshop, you'll have access to additional resources to create new GPU-accelerated applications on your own.
- This first session focuses on accelerating applications with CUDA C/C++ and managing accelerated application memory with CUDA C/C++.
- The second session (Oct 4) will focus on asynchronous streaming and visual profiling for accelerated applications with CUDA C/C++.
