Riassunto

Extremely low-cost graphics cards now possess computational capabilities that were once limited to supercomputers. Using CUDA, you can to liberate the power of NVIDIA graphics cards for a wide spectrum of non-graphics applications.CUDA for Engineers is the first guide specifically focused on using CUDA to write high-performance engineering and scientific applications.

Ideal for any scientist, engineer, or student with at least introductory programming experience, this tutorial presents examples and reusable C code to jumpstart a wide variety of applications. You'll walk through moving from serial to parallel computation; computing values of a function in parallel; understanding 2D parallelism; simulating dynamics in the phase plane; simulating heat conduction; interacting with 3D data; walking through a basic N-body simulation, and more.

Written by a working engineer, this comfortable and conversational guide focuses on practical knowledge you need to solve real engineering and scientific problems with CUDA – at a small fraction of what it would have cost just a few years ago.

Duane Storti received his PhD in Theoretical & Applied Mechanics from Cornell University in 1984. Since then, he has served as a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle. Prof. Storti has 35 years of experience in teaching and research in the areas of engineering mathematics, dynamics and vibrations, computer-aided design, 3D printing, and applied GPU computing. When not on campus, he can often be found in the volleyball gym, playing the role of Coach Duane.

Mete Yurtoglu received Bachelor’s degrees in Physics and Mechanical Engineering in 2008 and a Master of Science Degree in 2011 from Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey. He is currently a graduate student at the University of Washington-Seattle pursuing a Master’s of Science Degree in Applied Mathematics and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering. His research interests focus on GPU-based methods for computer vision and machine learning. Mete enjoys family time, playing soccer, and working out.
