Online Course – CUDA 4 Dummies
Workshop
This course provides lectures, demos, and hands-on labs.
Content Levels: Beginners = 0:00h (0%) + Intermediate = 13:00h (100%) + Advanced = 0:00h (0%)
This course is a PRACE training event. It is organized by the VSC Research Center, TU Wien.
Agenda & Content:
First day:
- Basic design principles, getting started with simple CUDA routines, mastering the CUDA environment;
- Memory hierarchy with a focus on CUDA managed unified memory;
- Practical exercise: all the pitfalls one can run into when porting a dummy code to CUDA.
08:45 - 09:00 join online
09:00 - 13:00 lectures and hands-on labs (with breaks: 10:45-11:00)
13:00 - 14:00 lunch break
14:00 - 17:00 lectures and hands-on labs (with breaks: 15:20-15:35)
Second day:
- Selected examples to demonstrate CUDA capabilities and GPU operation, e.g., bandwidthTest, simpleAssert, simpleStreams, etc.;
- CUDA libraries, CUBLAS, CUSolver, considering numerical precision, gaining insight into the runtime;
- Practical exercise: CUDA in everyday life (of a scientist).

Prerequisites:
We welcome a basic scientific mindset, curiosity, a keen interest in challenging technical innovations, and the appreciation of outside-the-box thinking. Participants should be able to work on the Linux command line and have basic knowledge in programming with either C/C++/Fortran.
Hands-on Labs:
The hands-on labs will be done on Austria's brand new flagship supercomputer VSC-5, all participants will get a training user account on VSC-5 for the duration of the course.
Accepted participants will be contacted a few days before the course and asked to do a short PRE-ASSIGNMENT that has to be completed before the course starts.
Lecturers:
Siegfried Höfinger (VSC Research Center, TU Wien),
TBD (tutors; VSC Research Center, TU Wien)
Prices and Eligibility:
This course is a PRACE Training Center (PTC) event. Therefore, the course is open and free of charge for participants from academia and industry from the Member States (MS) of the European Union (EU) and Associated/Other Countries to the Horizon 2020 programme.
Course Material:
The course material will be available at course start.
