GPGPUs and their programing
Dezsö Sima, Szénási Sándor · 2019
The widespread use of GPGPUs in an increasing number of HPC (High Performance Computing) areas, such as scientific, engineering, financial and business applications, is one of recent major trends in using informatics. The lecture slides worked out pursuit two goals. On the one side the lecture aims at presenting the principle of operation, the microarchitecture and main features of GPGPU cores, as well as their implementation as graphics cards or data parallel accelerators. On the other hand, the practical part of the lectures aims at acquainting students with data parallel programming, first of all with GPGPU programming and program optimization using the CUDA language and programming environment.
