GPU Club event - Discover how to accelerate your research
17 Jul 2013
On Tuesday, 23 July (10am-1.30pm) in the Cordingley Lecture Theatre, Humanities Bridgeford Street.
Whether you are writing your simulations in MATLAB, Python, FORTRAN, C or one of many other programming languages it is now fairly straight forward to obtain your results faster by using a General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit: GPGPU or GPU for short.
IT Services for Research has invited speakers from MathWorks (the owners of MATLAB) and NVIDIA (the producers of popular GPUs) to talk at the University GPU Club on Tuesday, 23 July 2013.
Jeremy Purches of NVIDIA will introduce the audience to NVIDIA and GPUs as well as explaining how to program GPUs and the growing availability of GPU accelerated applications. Jeremy will also outline NVIDIAs future roadmap.
Jos Martin of MathWorks will outline the use of MATLAB in simulation and how using the GPU-enabled functions already in MATLAB will result in substantial performance improvements for researchers codes.
The morning presentations will be followed by a buffet lunch with the opportunity in the afternoon for research groups or individuals to have more in-depth discussions with Jeremy and Jos about their products.
