Submitted by aschuh on Thu, 07/07/2011 - 11:58 CST

The Programming and Tuning Massively Parallel Systems Summer School (PUMPS) is aimed at enriching the skills of researchers, graduate students and teachers with cutting-edge technique and hands-on experience in developing applications for many-core processors with massively parallel computing resources like GPU accelerators.

  • Location: Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Computer Architecture Dept. at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain
  • When: July 11-22, 2011
The summer school is organized into two main tracks according to the attendees' knowledge, expertise and interest levels:
  • Tracks:
    • Beginners Track: The Beginners Track starts off with introductory lectures to multiprocessor programming and CUDA, covering topics such as the CUDA threading model and CUDA memory model.
    • Advanced Track: The Advanced Track continues the topics from the Beginner's track and focuses on optimizations and tuning of scientific and engineering applications; CUDA Performance Considerations; Debugging and Profiling CUDA Code; CUDA Algorithm Patterns, etc.
    • Separated hands-on lab sessions will be arranged for both tracks, adjusting the examples to the level of knowledge of each group.
  • Topics:
    • The full list of topics covered during the course is:
      • Many-core & Memory Organization
      • Introduction to CUDA
      • Threading and Memory Model
      • Performance Considerations
      • Hands-on Lab: CUDA examples
      • CUDA Algorithm Patterns
