This workshop,  hosted by eResearch SA and to be presented by Mark Harris (NVIDIA) with Dragan Dimitrovici (Xenon Systems), aims to provide a detailed introduction to GPU computing with CUDA and NVIDIA GPUs such as the Tesla series of high-performance computing processors.

The workshop will be held from 9:00-13:00 on Tuesday 28th April, in the Henry Ayers Room, Ayers House
288 North Terrace, Adelaide (opposite the Royal Adelaide Hospital).

CUDA is NVIDIA’s revolutionary parallel computing architecture for GPUs. The available software tools include a C compiler for developers to build applications, as well as useful libraries for high-performance computing (BLAS, FFT, etc). Several widely-used scientific applications have been ported to run on GPUs using CUDA. This half-day workshop will provide an introduction to the CUDA architecture, programming model, and the programming environment of C for CUDA, as well as an overview of the Tesla GPU architecture, a live programming demo, and strategies for optimizing CUDA applications for the GPU. The workshop will also include a brief presentation of some of the current NVIDIA hardware offerings for GPU computing using CUDA.

The workshop is free, but space is limited. For complete details and registration, visit the workshop web page or download the brochure.
