Heterogeneous computing is moving into the mainstream, and a broader range of applications are already on the way. As the provider of world-class CPUs, GPUs, and APUs, AMD offers unique insight into these technologies and how they interoperate. We’ve been working with industry and academia partners to help advance real-world use of these technologies, and to understand the opportunities that lie ahead. It’s time to share what we’ve learned so far.

With tutorials, hands-on labs, and sessions that span a range of topics from HPC to multimedia, you’ll have the opportunity to expand your view of what heterogeneous computing currently offers and where it is going. You’ll hear from industry innovators and academic pioneers who are exploring different ways of approaching problems, and utilizing new paradigms in computing to help identify solutions. You’ll meet AMD experts with deep knowledge of hardware architectures and the software techniques that best leverage those platforms. And you’ll connect with other software professionals who share your passion for the future of technology.

The Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI)—”Scientific Computing in the Americas: the challenge of massive parallelism”—was held in Valparaiso, Chile on 3–14 January 2011. The event hosted 14 lecturers and 68 participants, thanks to NSF/DOE funding. Lecture materials are now available publicly: PDFs of the lecture slides on the PASI website, and screencasts (video) via an iTunes U course and on YouTube also).

Almost all the presentations from the recent UK GPU Computing Conference held on December 13-14 2010 in Cambridge  are now available at http://www.many-core.group.cam.ac.uk/ukgpucc2/programme.shtml. Over 100 delegates saw a varied mix of talks from both industry and academia over the 2 day meeting.

All talks from the 2010 GPU Technology Conference (as well as archived presentations from GTC 2009) are now available from NVIDIA.

For those who missed this year’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC) , and those who attended, but had a hard time choosing between all the concurrent sessions, NVIDIA has publicly released streamed recordings, video and slides from most  GTC sessions.

There is content available for all types of programmers and developers. Those just getting started programming GPUs may want to take a look at the pre-conference tutorials, which provide an in-depth look at topics such as CUDA C, OpenCL, OpenGL and Parallel Nsight.

This webinar series is designed to help advance your OpenCL programming knowledge. Experts from AMD will cover both beginning and advanced topics starting with the basics of parallel and heterogeneous computing and an introduction to OpenCL, then progressing to more advanced topics such as performance optimization techniques and real world case studies.

This webinar describes how heterogeneous computing fits into the parallel computing paradigm, what problems it solves and what opportunities it presents. Read the rest of this entry »

In cooperation with NVIDIA, empulse GmbH is hosting a free CUDA workshop on October 26th in Cologne. An introduction to CUDA programming will be presented, including real examples and scenarios. The main objective of the workshop is to provide an understanding of the basic programming paradigms for the creation of CUDA applications, as well as the underlying hardware architecture.

The seminar is geared towards beginners in CUDA programming. A solid, basic knowledge of C/C++ programming is required. The workshop will be presented in English. Details are available at the empulse website.

The HLRS / University of Stuttgart, Germany, hosts a CRAY workshop on hybrid manycore computing and accelerators in high performance computing, on Monday Oct. 25, 2010. The number of participants is limited to 30, and no fee is charged. Registration, the full workshop program, and more information is available at the workshop website, http://corga.hlrs.de/corga/corga-CrayGPU-2010.
