OverviewLearn how to accelerate your applications with CUDA C/C++ and OpenACC. The lectures are interleaved with many hands-on sessions using Jupyter Notebooks. The exercises will be done on a fully configured GPU-accelerated workstation in the cloud. The workshop is co-organized by LRZ, IT4Innovations and NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI) for the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE). Both IT4Innovations and LRZ as part of GCS are PRACE Training Centres which serve as European hubs and key drivers of advanced high-quality training for researchers working in the computational sciences. NVIDIA DLI offers hands-on training for developers, data scientists, and researchers looking to solve challenging problems with deep learning. All instructors are NVIDIA certified University Ambassadors. Agenda1st day: Fundamentals of Accelerated Computing with CUDA C/C++The CUDA computing platform enables the acceleration of CPU-only applications to run on the world’s fastest massively parallel GPUs. On the 1st day you experience C/C++ application acceleration by:
Upon completion, you’ll be able to accelerate and optimize existing C/C++ CPU-only applications using the most essential CUDA tools and techniques. You’ll understand an iterative style of CUDA development that will allow you to ship accelerated applications fast. 2nd day: Fundamentals of Accelerated Computing with OpenACCOn the second day you learn the basics of OpenACC, a high-level programming language for programming on GPUs. Discover how to accelerate the performance of your applications beyond the limits of CPU-only programming with simple pragmas. You’ll learn:
Upon completion, you'll be ready to use OpenACC to GPU accelerate CPU-only applications. Important information
PRACE Training and EducationThe mission of PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) is to enable high-impact scientific discovery and engineering research and development across all disciplines to enhance European competitiveness for the benefit of society. PRACE has an extensive education and training effort through seasonal schools, workshops and scientific and industrial seminars throughout Europe. Seasonal Schools target broad HPC audiences, whereas workshops are focused on particular technologies, tools or disciplines or research areas. NVIDIA Deep Learning InstituteThe NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute delivers hands-on training for developers, data scientists, and engineers. The program is designed to help you get started with training, optimizing, and deploying neural networks to solve real-world problems across diverse industries such as self-driving cars, healthcare, online services, and robotics. |
