Introduction to GPU, February 28, 2020

February 28, 2020

NERSC will host a one-day training event for users on Introduction to GPU on Friday, February 28, 2020. The topics to cover are: Why GPUs, GPU architecture, DOE roadmap, and what type of applications are likely to benefit from GPU acceleration; How to use Cori GPU, where to find documentation, available compilers, how to compile and run; NVIDIA software stack; Programming for GPU using directives (OpenACC and OpenMP); Debugging and profiling on GPU. Attendees will be given Cori GPU access to try to run and profile some simple GPU codes.
