Description:

This is a School organized by the ErUM-Data-Hub with support from DIG-UM.

In this school you will learn how Python code can be accelerated. A focus will be placed on numeric NumPy-like array computations. In addition, running these array computations on hardware accelerators, i.e., GPUs, will play a key role in this school.

The school is intended for young researchers - especially for PhD students - who regularly work with the scientific Python ecosystem. Requirements are good knowledge of the scientific Python ecosystem, basics of the C++ programming language are beneficial.

The school (see timetable) is split into five parts of which three are keynote lectures with hands-on tutorials. The other two comprise an opening talk and a coding group challenge for the participants.

A fee of 300€ will be charged for participation in the workshop.

Topics:

  • Setting the scene: benefits and disadvantages of the Python programming language and a brief outline how Python programs can be accelerated in general.
  • Efficient Python Programming: general approaches to accelerate Python code, using C++ in Python and accelerating array computations.
  • Accelerator Optimised Programming: how array computations can be run on GPUs with typical Deep Learning libraries, such as JAX or TensorFlow.
  • GPU Programming: understanding the hardware layout, i.e., thread and memory layout and hierarchy and basics of the CUDA toolkit. A focus is set on how to program custom GPU kernels for, e.g., Deep Learning applications (in JAX or TensorFlow).
  • Group Challenge
Event type:
  • Workshops and courses

Keywords: Python, GPU, Accelerator Optimised Programming
