This workshop is the third in a series of GPGPU workshops held at UCT. The principal lecturers on the course will again be Nvidia fellows John Stone and Manuel Ujald\u00f3n. This workshop will cover the basics of NVIDIA\u2019s CUDA programming environment, to enable effective general purpose computing with GPUs, and will then progress to advanced topics, such as hyper-Q, dynamic parallelism and unified memory.<\/div>\n<div>The workshop is aimed at programmers with experience in C\/C++ coding, who would like to explore Nvidia CUDA programming for graphics processing units. The workshop is offered as part of the UCT Computer Science Honours programme, but is open to other participants.
