Using the Nvidia CUDA GPUs as examples, will learn how the hardware works, which guides us towards how it has to be programmed. <h2 style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: 'Roboto Light', sans-serif; font-size: 1.6em; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.28571em; margin: calc(2rem - 0.142857em) 0em; orphans: 2; padding: 0em; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: rgb(192,57,43);"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><strong>Requirements</strong></span></span></h2> <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(119, 119, 119); font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.4285em; margin: 0em 0em 1em; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Students should have written basic C/C++ programs before, and should be familiar with pointers and arrays and/or vectors of data. <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(119, 119, 119); font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.4285em; margin: 0em 0em 1em; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><strong>Hands on: </strong>We have the option to play with a few basic CUDA applications.

Afterwards, he worked for the ROOT project at CERN, focussing on high-throughput computing and RooFit, a package for fitting and statistical analysis of data. Now, Stephan is a computing engineer in CERN IT's innovation group, focussing on GPU computing for high-energy physics. <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(119, 119, 119); font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.4285em; margin: 0em; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"> <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(119, 119, 119); font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.4285em; margin: 0em; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Please note that pictures and videos might be taken during the event.
