PAR Class 6, Mon 2020-02-03

1   Student talks (round 1) finished

Note: in a month, we'll have another round.

2   Nvidia GPU and accelated computing

This is from https://developer.nvidia.com/teaching-kits-downloads

My local copy of what I'm using is in /parallel-class/GPU-Teaching-Kit-Accelerated-Computing

Today we did through module 2.

3   Changes this year

For students who've looked at last year's course, here are some upcoming changes.

  1. I'm dropping Stanford's parallel course. It's very nice but just too old.
  2. I'm adding material from Nvidia's developer site.
  3. I'll be presenting OpenACC.
  4. I'll think I'll recommend the PG compiler instead of g++.
  5. That requires recommending docker.
