This course gives basic to intermediate level knowledge on CUDA programming. The course first gives a basic introduction to writing GPU applications using CUDA. Building on this more advanced topics are introduced that enable one to write efficient CUDA applications, including asynchronous execution with streams, utilizing Nvidia performance tools and how to write efficient kernels. Finally multi-GPU programming both within a node and between nodes, as well as new CUDA features will be discussed.

Prerequisities

Participants should have working knowledge on C programming language and basic knowledge on MPI programming. No prior knowledge on GPGPU programming or CUDA is required.

Learning outcome

After the course participants should be able to write simple CUDA programs that utilize multiple GPUs.
