By Paul Gray
University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, IA
This module provides:
- An introduction to the GPU architecture
- An introduction to the CUDA development environment
- Instructions on interfacing with the GPU hardware
- An emphasis on debugging C and CUDA codes with cuda-gdb
Upon completion of this module students should be able to:
- Develop, compile, and execute programs on the GPU architecture
- Troubleshoot issues with GPU codes using cuda-gdb
- Translate basic algorithms into programs suitable for execution on the GPU architecture
- Understand the many-thread model for parallelism present on the GPU architecture
Instructors wishing to incorporate this module into their curriculum have a few options:
- They can have a clone of the course all to themselves, hosted on the current moodle site, with class accounts and formal deadlines for a semester-long course
- They can use the content housed at UNI as a skeleton for their own moodle site. A copy of the moodle content housed at UNI would be provided upon request which would be suitable for a moodle course import.
