Imagine harnessing the power of CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs to train advanced AI models, render lifelike 3D graphics, or simulate climate change models. OpenCL makes it possible. Modern computing is defined by massive parallelism, where thousands of operations run simultaneously across diverse hardware platforms. OpenCL (Open Computing Language) serves as the industry-standard framework, bridging the gap to enable scalable and portable programming across heterogeneous systems.
This course is designed to help you navigate the complexities of OpenCL, turning intimidating concepts like kernels, workgroups, and memory hierarchies into tools for extraordinary computational performance.
Skills You Will Gain
Learning Outcomes (At the end of this program you will be able to)
- Analyse the structure and functionality of OpenCL programs to design effective solutions for parallel computing tasks.
- Create optimized kernels using advanced OpenCL techniques for efficient execution across various GPU architectures.
- Apply memory management strategies in OpenCL to enhance data throughput and reduce latency in high-performance computing.
- Optimize OpenCL performance using profiling tools and parallel computing principles to develop scalable multi-GPU applications.
Prerequisites
To get started with this course, you should have a solid understanding of C or C++, parallel programming concepts, and basic CPU/GPU architecture. Experience with command-line tools and a strong problem-solving mindset are also important. A system with a 10th Gen Intel processor or higher, 16 GB RAM, SSD storage, and preferably an NVIDIA GPU is recommended. Ubuntu is the preferred OS, along with tools like Visual Studio Code, CMake, Git, and appropriate C/C++ compilers.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for programmers and software developers working on performance-critical applications such as scientific computing, graphics, multimedia, high-performance computing, and gaming. It is also ideal for GPU programmers aiming to build portable, vendor-agnostic accelerated code, and embedded systems engineers seeking hardware acceleration for resource-limited devices. Additionally, data scientists and researchers tackling compute-intensive tasks like simulations, deep learning, or modeling will benefit from learning how to design and optimize algorithms using OpenCL.
