Overview
What you will study
GPUs are a key element of the current computing landscape; they are capable of exceptional performance for a substantial range of applications, hence they are found in most contemporary supercomputers. Harnessing their power requires using appropriate techniques, which are the main topic of this General Purpose GPU Programming course offered by Cranfield University .
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- General Purpose GPU
- The GPU architecture
- CUDA threading model (threads, blocks, warps)
- CUDA synchronisation (intra-block and host-device)
- CUDA memory model (registers, global, and shared memory) and memory management API
- Performance considerations (memory coalescing, shared memory bank conflicts, warp divergence)
- Running the Hello World example (kernel dispatch, CPU-GPU data transfers)
- Examples from linear algebra, outlining: 2D thread blocks, reduction operations, shared memory, synchronisation, coalescing
- GPU Performance issues (Compute Capability, device occupancy, peak performance, performance measurement)
- Development Tools (Nsight, Visual profiler, Occupancy calculator, cuda-memcheck)
- GPU Libraries (Thrust, CUBLAS, CUSPARSE, CUFFT)
- Advanced Optimisation techniques
