Teach GPU Accelerating Computing: Hands-on with NVIDIA Teaching Kit for University Educators

Teach GPU-Accelerated Computing with the New NVIDIA Teaching Kit for University Educators

As performance and functionality requirements of interdisciplinary computing applications rise, industry demand for new graduates familiar with accelerated computing with GPUs grows.

NVIDIA recently announced the new GPU Educators Program. This global program provides free teaching materials and parallel-computing resources—co-developed with academia—to empower today’s university students with the accelerated computing skills they’ll need tomorrow.

At IPDPS ’16, Dr. Wen-Mei Hwu from The University of Illinois (UIUC) will lead a free hands-on tutorial that introduces the GPU Teaching Kit for Accelerated Computing for use in university courses that can benefit from parallel processing. Participants will get immediate access to the Teaching Kits (faculty only). This session utilizes GPU resources in the cloud, you are required to bring your own laptop. This event is focused on teaching faculty, so student registrations are subject to availability. If you’re a student, please tell your instructors about this exciting new offering!

If you can’t make the session, please stop by the NVIDIA booth at IPDPS ’16 to learn more!
