About GPA-2014
GPU Programming and Applications (GPA-2014)
NVIDIA Corporation, USA has recently awarded IIT Bombay a CUDA Center of Excellence (CCOE). The CCOE of IIT Bombay, in association with NVIDIA, is conducting a National Level Workshop on GPU Programming and Applications (GPA-2014) during 24th – 26th February 2014 at IIT Bombay. GPA-2014 is a three day workshop on heterogeneous parallel computing. GPA-2014 is aimed at enriching the skills of students, faculty and researchers with cutting-edge techniques and hands-on experience in developing applications for many-core processors, with massively parallel computing resources like GPU accelerators.
Objectives
• Introduce techniques/ tools available based on NVIDIA's CUDA environment.
• Enable participants to quickly get started with writing their own parallel codes on GPGPU.
• Provide hands-on experience in parallel programming.
• These special sessions will provide the rich hands-on experience with various languages and tools covered in the lectures.
• They comprise a brief introduction to the programming assignments, followed by independent work periods.
• To help with the assignments, teaching assistants will be available in person and via the web.
• Present case studies from different application domains.
Participants at the end will be able to
• Be exposed to computational thinking skills for accelerating applications in science and engineering.
• Understand the most important architectural performance considerations for developing parallel applications.
• Be able to design algorithms that are appropriate for accelerators.
• Engage computing accelerators on science and engineering breakthroughs.
