Sommario
On December 14th, 2022 at 2.30 pm, a new appointment of NECSTSpecialTalk titled"CUDA Programming Model for Hopper Architecture" will be held online via Facebook by Martin Marciniszyn Mehringer (NVIDIA) and Alejandro Chacon (NVIDIA).
This session will introduce new features in CUDA for programming Hopper architecture.
The new programming model for Hopper is more hierarchical and asynchronous.
CUDA programming for Hopper introduces optional level of hierarchy called Thread Block Clusters that enable multiple thread blocks within the cluster to communicate using a common pool of shared memory. The asynchronous data movement is now hardware accelerated in all directions between global and shared memories. Additionally, we will cover the new Math API supporting Hopper DPX instructions. We will look at how to exploit the new programming model and APIs in applications for performance tuning.
The NECSTLab is a DEIB laboratory, with different research lines on advanced topics in computing systems: from architectural characteristics, to hardware-software codesign methodologies, to security and dependability issues of complex system architectures.
