N-Ways to GPU Programming Bootcamp

Explore four different GPU programming models in just one and a half days.

The N-Ways to GPU Programming Bootcamp covers the basics of GPU programming and provides an overview of different methods for porting applications to GPUs using NVIDIA CUDA, OpenACC and OpenMP offloading, and standard languages (C/C++ and Fortran).

Throughout the bootcamp, attendees with teaching assistants on hand will explore multiple GPU programming models, learn how to analyze GPU-enabled applications using NVIDIA Nsight Systems, and participate in hands-on activities to apply these learned skills to real-world problems.

Please ensure you meet all prerequisites / eligibility before you apply.
