GPU Accelerated Computing

Tuesday, February 28, 2017

9:10 am – 10:50 am

Location: Room 207

**Preregistration is REQUIRED for this workshop.**

This hands-on session will provide a brief introduction to GPU programming, and will provide access to Titan, the second fastest supercomputer in the world (TOP500 November 2015 list). The workshop will cover the basics of OpenACC programming and will include practical examples for taking advantage of Titan’s GPUs. Attendees will also have the opportunity to accelerate a small application using OpenACC, as well as learn about different optimizations.

Bring your laptop to this session.
