hyPACK-2013 Hands On Session

hyPACK-2013 Hands-on Sessions (HoS) will be conducted on HPC Cluster with coprocessors and accelerators. Programming on ARM Processor Cluster and ARM Processor system with CUDA enabled NVIDIA carma and DSP Multi-Core processor systems for Mode-1, Mode-2, Mode-3, Mode-4, & Mode-5 modules. The approach adopted to heterogeneous programming for applications kernels and numerical linear algebra on hybrid computing systems ( HPC GPU Cluster) is discussed in Mode-1, Mode-2, Mode-3 & Mode-4 modules of hypack-2013 ) are given below.
