DEEP LEARNING FOR OF ACCELERATED


COMPUTING
PREDICTIVE WITH CUDA PYTHON
MAINTENANCE

This workshop teaches you the fundamental tools and techniques for running GPU-accelerated Python applications using
CUDA® and the Numba compiler GPUs. You’ll work though dozens of hands-on coding exercises and, at the end of the training,
implement a new workflow to accelerate a fully functional linear algebra program originally designed for CPUs, observing
impressive performance gains. After the workshop ends, you’ll have additional resources to help you create new GPU-
accelerated applications on your own.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of the workshop, you’ll have an understanding of the fundamental tools and techniques for GPU-accelerated
Python applications with CUDA and Numba:
> GPU-accelerate NumPy ufuncs with a few lines of code.
> Configure code parallelization using the CUDA thread hierarchy.
> Write custom CUDA device kernels for maximum performance and flexibility.
> Use memory coalescing and on-device shared memory to increase CUDA kernel bandwidth.

Workshop Information and Prerequisites:

Duration: 8 hours
