Parallel programming on GPU with CUDA

• Olivier Mattelaer (UCLouvain/CISM)

Room: Shanon (building Maxwell, first floor) <p>Cuda is the most common way to code GPU application from scratch develloped by NVidia, it allows to push NVidia GPU to the maximum of their possibilities</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="10px"> <tbody> <tr> <td rowspan="2"> <p><strong>Contents:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Basic of GPU hardware</li> <li>Basic of programming with CUDA</li> <li>using nsight to profile your code</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Prerequisite:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Being able to use SSH with private keys&nbsp;</li> <li>Being familiar with a text editor&nbsp;</li> <li>Mastering the Linux command line and the GNU utilities (mkdir, cp, scp, etc.)</li> <li>Basic knowledge of C</li> </ul> <p><strong>Type:</strong>&nbsp;Hands-on<br /> <strong>Target audience</strong>: Rookie programmer<br /> <strong>Must:&nbsp;</strong>This session is a nice-to-have for those who need to develop highly parallel scientific software.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

Directive Based Parallel programming on GPU (OpenACC)

• Orian Louant (Université de Liège)

Room: Shanon (building Maxwell, first floor) <p>This course is an introduction to OpenACC and OpenMP to target GPU. These programming models are based on programmers inserting hints into their C/C++ or Fortran programs on how the code can be parallelized. OpenMP, was initially designed for shared-memory system with CPU but has recently been extended to target heterogeneous systems with accelerators like GPU. &nbsp;OpenACC, on the other end, was designed from the start to target accelerators.</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="10px"> <tbody> <tr> <td rowspan="2"> <p><strong>Contents:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Basics of OpenMP offloading and OpenACC</li> <li>Compute and worksharing constructs</li> <li>Data management</li> <li>Asynchronous execution and synchronization</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Prerequisite:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Being able to use SSH with private keys&nbsp;</li> <li>Being familiar with a text editor&nbsp;</li> <li>Mastering the Linux command line and the GNU utilities (mkdir, cp, scp, etc.)</li> <li>Basic knowledge of C/C++ or Fortran</li> </ul> <p><strong>Type:</strong>&nbsp;Hands-on<br /> <strong>Target audience</strong>: Rookie programmer<br /> <strong>Must:&nbsp;</strong>This session is a nice-to-have for those who need to develop highly scientific software.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
