The second in a series of CISL workshops and tutorials on GPU computing is “Why Use GPU Accelerators” on Thursday, February 17, at 10 a.m. MST. The
series of one-hour sessions is for scientists, software engineers, and students in the Earth system sciences to help them prepare to use the extensive GPU-computing capabilities of the new Derecho system.
The training is intended for both new and more experienced GPU programmers and requires familiarity with the UNIX shell; Fortran, C/C++, and/or Python; and typical program compilation workflows.
