- Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Ausbildungsraum 2, building 16.3, room 211
- 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.
- Duration:
- 2 days
- Date:
- 23-24 March 2015, 9:00-16:30
