DESCRIPTION:Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) were originally developed for 
 computer gaming and other graphical tasks\, but for many years have been e
 xploited for general purpose computing across a number of areas. They offe
 r advantages over traditional CPUs because they have greater computational
  capability\, and use high-bandwidth memory systems (where memory bandwidt
 h is the main bottleneck for many scientific applications).\n\nThis introd
 uctory course will describe GPUs\, and the advantages they offer. It will 
 teach participants how to get started with programming GPUs\, which cannot
  be used in isolation but as "accelerators" in conjunction with CPUs\, and
  how to get good performance.\n\nThe course focuses on NVIDIA GPUs\, and t
 he CUDA programming language (an extension to C/C++ or Fortran).\n\nHands-
 on practical sessions are included.\n\nYou will require to bring your lapt
 op.  The training will be run on a web-based system so all you will need 
 is a relatively recent web browser (Firefox or Chrome work best).\n\nTimet
