Intel MIC and GPU Programming Workshop

LRZ, 27.-29.4.2015

PRACE

The course discusses the architecture of GPGPUs and Intel’s new Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture.

It covers various programming and optimisation techniques for GPGPUs and Intel’s new Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors.

The hands-on sessions are done on the new Intel Xeon Phi based SuperMIC system and the GPU cluster at LRZ.

The workshop is a PRACE Advanced Training Centres (PATC) course. It is developed in collaboration with the Erlangen Regional Computing Centre (RRZE) within KONWIHR.

Each day is comprised of approximately 5 hours of lectures and 3 hours of hands-on sessions.
