Learn CUDA Programming

This is the code repository for Learn CUDA Programming , published by Packt.

A beginner's guide to GPU programming and parallel computing with CUDA 10.x and C/C++

What is this book about?

Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) is NVIDIA's GPU computing platform and application programming interface. It's designed to work with programming languages such as C, C++, and Python. With CUDA, you can leverage a GPU's parallel computing power for a range of high-performance computing applications in the fields of science, healthcare, and deep learning.

This book covers the following exciting features:

• Understand general GPU operations and programming patterns in CUDA
• Uncover the difference between GPU programming and CPU programming
• Analyze GPU application performance and implement optimization strategies
• Explore GPU programming, profiling, and debugging tools
• Grasp parallel programming algorithms and how to implement them Scale GPU-accelerated applications with multi-GPU and multi-nodes Delve into GPU programming platforms with accelerated libraries, Python, and OpenACC Gain insights into deep learning accelerators in CNNs and RNNs using GPUs

Instructions and Navigations

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.

The code will look like the following:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

__global__ void print_from_gpu(void) {
    printf("Hello World! from thread [%d,%d] \
        From device\n", threadIdx.x,blockIdx.x);
}

Following is what you need for this book: This beginner-level book is for programmers who want to delve into parallel computing, become part of the high-performance computing community and build modern applications. Basic C and C++ programming experience is assumed. For deep learning enthusiasts, this book covers Python InterOps, DL libraries, and practical examples on performance estimation.
