CUDA FOR ENGINEERS: AN INTRODUCTION TO HIGH-PERFORMANCE PARALLEL COMPUTING

Ideal for students with at least introductory programming experience, this tutorial presents examples and reusable C code to jumpstart a wide variety of applications. Students will walk through moving from serial to parallel computation; computing values of a function in parallel; understanding 2D parallelism; simulating dynamics in the phase plane; simulating heat conduction; interacting with 3D data; walking through a basic N-body simulation and more. Working examples show how to bring low-cost, high-performance parallel computing to engineering and scientific applications.
