| Beschreibung: |
| In this module, you will study the architecture and programming of GPUs. Please find below a brief outline of the lectures: - Review of computer architecture basics - measuring performance, benchmarks, five-stage RISC pipeline, caches - GPU basics - the evolution of GPU computing, a high-level overview of a GPU architecture - GPU programming with CUDA - program structure, CUDA threads organization, warp/thread-block scheduling - GPU (micro) architecture - streaming multiprocessors, single instruction multiple threads (SIMT) core design, tensor cores for deep learning, RT cores for ray tracing, mixed-precision support - GPU memory hierarchy - banked register file and operand collectors, shared memory, GPU caches (differences w.r.t. CPU caches), global memory - Branch and memory divergence - branch handling, stack-based reconvergence, memory coalescing, coalescer design - Barriers and synchronization - Temporal and spatial locality exploitation challenges in GPU caches - Global memory- high throughput requirements, GDDR/HBM, memory bandwidth optimization techniques - GPU research issues - performance bottlenecks, GPU power modeling, high-power consumption/energy efficiency, GPU security - Application case study - deep learning - Cycle-accurate simulators for GPUs In addition to lectures, a semester-long problem-based project will augment the learning in the lectures. Several topics related to GPUs will be proposed. You are required to choose a topic and work on it. It is possible to work in groups. There will be (bi-) weekly meetings to discuss progress and problems. In addition to the semester-long project, there will be assignments to teach CUDA programming. Course Evaluation: Oral examination Duration: 30 minutes |
