Webinar Topics Videos and Presentations Taming GPU Compute with C++ AMP

Developers today inject parallelism into their compute-intensive applications in order to take advantage of multi-core CPU hardware. Beyond CPUs, however, compute accelerators such as general-purpose GPUs can provide orders of magnitude speed-ups for data parallel algorithms. How can you as a C++ developer fully utilize this heterogeneous hardware from your Visual Studio environment? How can you benefit from this tremendous performance boost in your Visual C++ solutions without sacrificing developer productivity? The answers will be presented in this session about C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism. View Video

Advanced OpenCL™ Debugging using gDEBugger by Yaki Tebeka, AMD Fellow

Developing robust parallel computing applications is difficult. In this talk we will introduce the audience to gDEBugger, an OpenCL kernel source code debugger, integrated into Visual Studio™. We will display advanced debugging techniques that help locate hard-to-find OpenCL related bugs. Join Yaki Tebeka, an AMD Fellow, responsible for AMD’s developer tools, for this live webinar. Yaki brings over 13 years of experience in software, focusing on 3D graphics, heterogeneous computing and developer tools. View Video

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (1 hour)
This webinar describes a project in computational fluid dynamics targeted for videogame applications. The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) algorithm is a particle method for simulating viscous fluids like water, syrup and air. It is based on solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations of fluid mechanics using a particle formulation. This webinar shows you how to build an SPH simulation in OpenCL and discusses design tradeoffs. Source code for the simulation is available. Video
