Target audience:

Scientists who want to use GPU systems with OpenCL

Contents:

OpenCL provides an open, portable C-based programming model for highly parallel processors. In contrast to NVIDIA's proprietary programming API CUDA, a primary goal of OpenCL is portability across a diverse set of computing devices including CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerators.

Topics covered will include:

• Introduction to vectorisation
• Programming model of OpenCL
  
• Datatypes and OpenCL vectorisation features
  
• Tuning for architectures like CPUs, accelerators (GPUs), and co-processors (Xeon Phi)
  

• Heterogeneous multi-device programming
  

Prerequisites:

Some knowledge about Linux, e.g. make, command line editor, Linux shell, experience in C

Language:

This course is given in English.
