HPC Australasia CUDA Bootcamp

The CUDA Bootcamp is an exciting and unique way for scientists and researchers to learn the skills needed to start quickly accelerating codes on GPUs. Held as a free virtual event across three days (7-9 October 2020), this bootcamp will introduce you to GPU memory hierarchy, CUDA thread programming, and debugging and profiling.

This event is presented by the Australasian HPC Centres -- NeSI, Pawsey Supercomputing Centre, and NCI -- and is open to all users from New Zealand and Australia.
