Acquire:

  • Knowledge of basic parallel algorithms
  • Skills in parallel program design and evaluation
  • An understanding of parallel hardware
  • Practical knowledge of the OpenCL parallel programming standard

  • The 3 walls of hardware development
  • Task parallelism vs. data parallelism
  • Flynn 's Taxonomy
  • Key concepts of OpenCL
  • Scalability and other metrics for parallel computing
  • Modern accelerator hardware design
  • Understanding GPU memory
  • GPU threads, predication and occupancy
  • Matrix multiplication and matrix transpose
  • Parallel reduction and parallel prefix sum
  • Sorting networks and bitonic sorting
  • Wavefront parallelism

Basic concepts will be presented in a normal lecture format and immediately examined on practical code examples and their performance on real parallel hardware.
