Course Content
The course has been designed to give hands-on knowledge and development experience on general purpose GPU programming. The student will learn about the GPU as part of the PC architecture. Then they will learn about development of GPU software using CUDA C and OpenCL. Various optimization issues, particularly effective use of memory and floating point calculations will be discussed. The concepts and the effects of optimization will be demonstrated with case studies. Similarities and differences of CUDA and OpenCL will also be discussed around these case studies.The students will be expected to propose a compute-expensive problem to implement on the GPU and then develop and optimize it on the GPU and compare the performance results with the CPU implementation. They are also expected to compare various optimization strategies.
