You need to register for an XSEDE user portal account before you can
register for the summer school.


*Harness the Power of GPU’s: Introduction to GPGPU Programming*
*June 16 – June 20, 2014*
*11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. EST (New York Time)*

Presented by:
Indiana University Pervasive Technology Institute, UITS Research
Technologies Division
Visiting scholar: Guido Juckeland, Technische Universität Dresden
Center for Information Services and High Performance Computing (ZIH)

Course description:
The course is a mixture of lectures and labs. It introduces all levels
of parallelism as well as common approaches for parallelization in order
to achieve these goals:

   * Better utilization of the GPUs by enabling more scientists to use them
   * Better understanding of the efficiency in the GPU utilization by the
     application developers
   * A higher job throughput by enabling more resources and shortening
     job runtimes

In addition the course enables participants to:

   * Understand and avoid the common pitfalls of parallel computing
   * Learn CUDA and OpenACC
   * Understand the basic principles of data parallel computing
   * Tap into a lot of computing power, even on a laptop
   * Speed up their research
