Course overview

GPU-acceleration has been shown to provide significant performance benefits in many different applications. However, for a novice, or even for a moderately experienced scientist or programmer, it is not always clear which applications could potentially benefit from GPU-acceleration and which do not. When should one invest time in GPU-acceleration? How much speedup can be expected with a given application?

The main goal of this one day course is to start answering these questions. The course also covers the basics of GPU programming and aims to provide the necessary information for avoiding the most common pitfalls.

Participation is open to all existing and prospective users of HPC from Swedish institutions.
