The N-Ways to GPU Programming Bootcamp covers the basics of GPU programming and provides an overview of different methods for porting scientific applications to GPUs using NVIDIA CUDA, OpenACC and OpenMP offloading, and standard languages.
Throughout the bootcamp, attendees with teaching assistants on hand will explore multile GPU programming models, learn how to analyze GPU-enabled applications using NVIDIA Nsight Systems, and participate in hands-on activities to apply these learned skills to real-world problems.
This bootcamp, which will be hosted virtually for one and a half days on April 8–9, is co-organized by the Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC), IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center (IT4I), High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), University of Donja Gorica (UDG), Academic Computer Centre Cyfronet AGH (Cyfronet), Linköping University (LiU), Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE), HPC Vega at IZUM (IZUM), OpenACC organization, and NVIDIA for EuroCC Austria, EuroCC Czechia, EuroCC@GCS, EuroCC Montenegro, EuroCC Poland, EuroCC Sweden, and EuroCC Slovenia, all National Competence Centres for High-Performance Computing.
Please ensure you meet all prerequisites / eligibility before you apply.
