COM4521 Parallel Computing with Graphical Processing Units

Computing architectures are rapidly changing towards scalable parallel computing devices with many cores. Performance is gained by new designs which favour a high number of parallel compute cores at the expense of imposing significant software challenges. This module looks at parallel computing from multi-core CPUs to GPU accelerators with many TFlops of theoretical performance. The module will give insight into how to write high performance code with specific emphasis on GPU programming with NVIDIA CUDA GPUs. A key aspect of the module will be understanding what the implications of program code are on the underlying hardware so that it can be optimised. Students should be aware that there are limited places available on this course.
