3 Changes this year
For students who've looked at last year's course, here are some upcoming changes.
- I'm dropping Stanford's parallel course. It's very nice but just too old.
- I'm adding material from Nvidia's developer site.
- I'll be presenting OpenACC.
- I'll think I'll recommend the PG compiler instead of g++.
- That requires recommending docker.
