Dr Istvan Reguly, the GPU Developer for the e-Infrastructure South consortium (http://www.einfrastructuresouth.ac.uk), has a responsibility for assisting and providing technical support for GPU users across the four universities and will be coming to UCL to deliver the workshop. The day will have an interactive format including lots of demos, with a particular focus on Emerald. Emerald is one of the largest GPU based systems in Europe
(http://www.einfrastructuresouth.ac.uk/cfi/emerald).
Topics to include:
- Debugging GPU applications - approaches and tools
- Profiling and tuning - why do GPU applications run slowly?
- Rapid code development and high-level libraries
- Multi-GPU, MPI+CUDA and NUMA issues
- Anything else you'd be interested in!
If you are already an Emerald user and are interested in making a short presentation about your work, please contact Istvan (email: Istvan.Reguly[AT]oerc.ox.ac.uk) who will be pleased to schedule you a slot for this.
