NVIDIA DLI WORKSHOPS

2019

NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI) offers hands-on training for developers, data scientists, and researchers looking to solve challenging problems with deep learning and accelerated computing.

DLI and University of Sannio (Dept. of Engineering) with University of Salerno (Dept. of Innovation Systems) are excited to announce the 2019 series of practical Deep Learning and Accelerated Computing workshops exclusively for verifiable academic students, staff, and researchers.

Program

The CUDA computing platform enables the acceleration of CPU-only applications to run on the world’s fastest massively parallel GPUs. Experience C/C++ application acceleration by:

  • Accelerating CPU-only applications to run their latent parallelism on GPUs

  • Utilizing essential CUDA memory management techniques to optimize accelerated applications

  • Exposing accelerated application potential for concurrency and exploiting it with CUDA streams

  • Leveraging command line and visual profiling to guide and check your work

Upon completion, you’ll be able to accelerate and optimize existing C/C++ CPU-only applications using the most essential CUDA tools and techniques. You’ll understand an iterative style of CUDA development that will allow you to ship accelerated applications fast.
