Student talks - 2nd set

  1. Rules:

    1. Two students may work together to present one talk.

    2. Prepare and give 5-10 minute talk on Thurs 3/18, Mon 3/22, or Thurs 3/25 (less preferable). A team would jointly give one 5-10 minute talk. I'll pack six talks per day, filling the earliest days first, and fill out unused time with new material.

    3. Email me with your team, topic, and preferred dates.

  2. Topic:

    1. In class, we're covering several parallel SW tools: OpenMP, OpenACC, CUDA, Thrust.

    2. In your first set of talks, you also mentioned some parallel tools like MPI and pthreads.

    3. Now, you research and present another tool useful in parallel work, either HW or SW. It might be:

      1. something from an energy lab, like Kokkos.

      2. something cloud- or docker-based.

      3. parallel facilities in current C++.

      4. a commercial product.

      5. OpenCL.

      6. a debugging tool, e.g., from Nvidia, which I might have mentioned but not described in detail.

      7. something mentioned in a recent GPU Technology Conference (GTC) or Supercomputing Conference talk.
