Description
We'll take a look at the promise and the results of porting
applications to GPUs and try to distinguish the hype from
the reality. We'll take a closer look at where GPUs fit into
HPC today and in the near future, and try to do a fair
comparison of GPU optimized programs, CPU optimized
programs, and even take a look at competing accelerators
such as the Intel Xeon Phi. The goal of this lecture is to give
you some perspective on GPU technology and where it may
(or may not) fit into HPC in the next few years.
