Tutorial Announcement

MIT Lincoln Laboratory is proud to offer a state-of-the-art tutorial in conjunction with HPEC 2011. This half-day tutorial will be offered on Tuesday, 20 September 2011 from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. in S2-180.

Introduction to GPU Programming Tutorial

In this 3 hour session I will examine how several numerical recipes map to graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware that is common in today’s laptops and desktop computers. The lecture will start from an introductory level and will not assume much prior knowledge of GPU technology. In addition to slide material, I will use interactive debugging tools to step through GPU implementations of linear algebra solvers, numerical time-stepping codes and signal processing algorithms. These worked examples will provide a practical way to illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of current generation GPU systems and to showcase different programming tools that are available.
