The N-Ways to GPU Programming Bootcamp will be hosted virtually for three half-days on April 3 - 5. This Bootcamp covers the basics of GPU programming and provides an overview of different methods for porting scientific application to GPUs using NVIDIA® CUDA®, OpenACC, standard languages, OpenMP offloading, and/or CuPy and Numba. Throughout the bootcamp, attendees with learn how to analyze GPU-enabled applications using NVIDIA Nsight™ Systems and participate in hands-on activities to apply these learned skills to real-world problems.

This bootcamp is co-organized by the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC), RISE Research Institutes Of Sweden (RISE), Linköping University (LiU), OpenACC organization and NVIDIA for EuroCC Austria, EuroCC@GCS and EuroCC Sweden, all National Competence Centres for High-Performance Computing.
