This guide iincludes updates that cover both the Kepler and Maxwell GPUs from NVIDIA, as well as the latest heterogeneous systems from AMD. Suitable for someone without a parallel programming background or previous CUDA experience, as well as those who already have dabbled in GPU programming, the contents range from installation and getting started, to building your own GPU workstation.
This revision includes a new chapter on visualizing data, and new content on the latest CUDA features including data caching, shared memory, and dynamic parallelism. Author Shane Cook also covers the latest host systems and changes to the installation process, NVIDIA’s Parallel NSight IDE, and hardware systems that run CUDA applications. The final new chapter looks ahead to future GPU platforms and releases including on-core ARM CPU and NVlink technologies.
