A GPU computing workshop and discussion forum will be held at the UWA University Club Thursday, May 7th.  The workshop aims to provide a detailed introduction to GPU computing with CUDA and NVIDIA Tesla computing solutions, and to present research in GPU and Heterogeneous computing being undertaken in Western Australia.

Mark Harris (NVIDIA) will present 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. To better enable the uptake of this technology, Dragan Dimitrovici from Xenon Systems will provide an overview of CUDA enabled hardware options. The workshop will also include brief presentations of some of the projects using CUDA within Western Australia, including a presentation from Professor Karen Haines (WASP@UWA) on parallel computing strategies required for optimizing applications for GPU and heterogeneous computing.

Please see the workshop flyer for full details.
