Thus, Gorenje, with its home products, follows new trends and user expectations. The development of a smart ecosystem for the home will be presented, which includes not only smart appliances but also cloud infrastructure and mobile applications. An overview of the structure of the entire ecosystem with key technologies will be given. Challenges of their development will be shown on real-world examples, from hardware to software development.

We will end the lecture with a look into the future, both in the field of technologies and the products themselves. There will be plenty of time for a discussion and Q/A.

The lecture will be led by dr. Timotej Globačnik, you are kindly invited.

News is expired!

Duration: 10:00 - 17:30

Where: MS Teams (link will be sent to participants on the day of the workshop)

In this workshop doc. dr. Domen Verber, ambassador for NVIDIA, will present the fundamental tools and techniques for accelerating C/C++ applications to run on massively parallel GPUs with CUDA ® . You’ll learn how to write code, configure code parallelization with CUDA, optimize memory migration between the CPU and GPU accelerator, and implement the workflow that you’ve learned on a new task—accelerating a fully functional, but CPU-only, particle simulator for observable massive performance gains.

You will learn:

  • how to write code,
  • configure the parallelization code with CUDA, and
  • optimize memory migrations between CPU and GPU accelerator.

Finally, you will implement the learned workflow on the following task: accelerating a fully functional (CPE) particle simulator for the observed increased performance.

Upon successful completion of the assessment, participants will receive an NVIDIA DLI certificate to recognize their subject matter competency and support professional career growth.

Goals

After completing the workshop, you will understand the basic tools and techniques for C / C ++ applications that accelerate GPU with CUDA and can:

  • write the code to be executed by the GPU accelerator,
  • highlight and express the parallelism of data and parallelism at the level of instructions in C / C ++ applications using CUDA,
  • use CUDA-managed memory and optimize memory migration using asynchronous prefetching,
  • use the command line and visual profiles to direct your work,
  • use concurrent flows for instruction-level parallelism, and
  • write GPU-accelerated CUDA C/C ++ applications, or redesign existing CPU-accelerated applications using a profile-based approach.

Preconditions

Basic C/C++ competency, including familiarity with variable types, loops, conditional statements, functions, and array manipulations. No previous knowledge of CUDA programming is assumed.
