Course Overview
The purpose of this module is for students to understand how the course will be run, topics, how they will be assessed, and expectations.
Core Principles of Parallel Programming on CPUs and GPUs
In order to create software that process greater amounts of data at faster speeds, software operating systems, programming languages, and frameworks require strategies for accessing and modification of data in a manner that maximizes speed, while minimizing the possibility of data being in incorrect states. In this module, students will be presented canonical concurrency problems such as the Dining Philosophers. Additionally, they will learn how operating systems and programming languages handle these problems, and discuss real world big data concurrency applications.
Introduction to Parallel Programming with C and Python
Modern programming languages allow developers to create software with complex logic for manipulation of data in parallel, taking advantage of the multiple CPU cores in most computers. Students will develop simple software, written in the C++ and Python 3 programming languages, that process data sets concurrently.
NVidia GPU Hardware/Software
The purpose of this module is for students to understand the basis in hardware and software that CUDA uses. This is required to appropriately develop software to optimally take advantage of GPU resources.
Sobre Programa de cursos integrados GPU Programming
This specialization is intended for data scientists and software developers to create software that uses commonly available hardware. Students will be introduced to CUDA and libraries that allow for performing numerous computations in parallel and rapidly. Applications for these skills are machine learning, image/audio signal processing, and data processing.
