About the Course
This course introduces participants to CUDA programming for GPU acceleration. Delivered via live online lectures and interactive doubt sessions, it covers foundational and advanced topics in parallel computing using CUDA.
Topics Covered:
- Introduction to GPU computing
- Hello World in CUDA
- Program flow and cudamemcopies
- Thread organization and blocks
- GPU computation hierarchy and matrix operations
- Thread divergence and memory types
- Memory coalescing, AoS vs. SoA
- Shared memory and bank conflicts
- Compute capabilities and synchronization
- Mutual exclusion, atomics, and barriers
- Reductions, prefix sums, and functions
- Multi-dimensional arrays in C/CUDA
