Introduction to GPU Programming using CUDA

The course provides an introduction to the programming language CUDA which is used to write fast numeric algorithms for NVIDIA GPUs. Focus is on the basic usage of the language, the exploitation of the most important features of the device (massive parallel computation, shared memory) and efficient usage of the hardware to maximize performance. An overview of the available development tools and some advanced features of the language is given.
