Content

The efficient implementation and realization of algorithms from different areas of computer science or related disciplines on massively parallel architectures will be taught. Furthermore, the programming of massively parallel computer systems GPU, and the associated challenges such as memory management, branching, synchronization are covered. In addition to GPU programming, the focus is also on measuring and comparing the performance of parallel applications.

Objectives

Students can independently (in small groups) plan, implement and execute the implementation of computationally intensive tasks on massively parallel computers. They are able to measure and analyse the runtime of parallel applications.
