Overview

This course covers the architecture and programming of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units). It covers both the traditional use for rendering graphics, as well as the use of GPUs for general purpose computations (GPGPU), or GPU Computing.

Synopsis

CS 380. GPU and GPGPU Programming (3-0-3) Recommended prerequisites: CS 248, CS 292, CS 282. Architecture and programming of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units). Covers both the traditional use of GPUs for graphics and visualization, as well as their use for general purpose computations (GPGPU). GPU many-core hardware architectures, shading and compute programming languages and APIs, programming vertex, geometry, and fragment shaders, programming with CUDA, Brook, OpenCL, stream computing, approaches to massively parallel computations, memory subsystems and caches, rasterization, texture mapping, linear algebra computations, alternative and future architectures.
