4 day OpenCL training in Amsterdam (math + signal-processing)
#_TOWN, 14 Jul 2014
Every month StreamHPC offers an OpenCL training in Mathematics or Media-operations. Target is OpenCL 1.2 (or 1.1 when NVIDIA is discussed). OpenCL 2.0 trainings will start in Q2/Q3, or when on request. All trainings will be given by experienced OpenCL developers/trainers.
This training is focused on math, with emphasis on signal processing.
Trainings
A trainings takes 3½ days, from basics on the first morning to the special requests on the 4th morning. You’ll bring your own laptop, or you can login to a compute-server.
The Mathematics module is based on “OpenCL in Action”
by Matthew Scarpino.
It covers reduction, sorting, matrix-operations and signal processing.
If you work on graphs, matrices and data-manipulation, this is for you.
Both training-modules are based on a book, and enriched with nowhere-to-be-found information, explanations about parallel algorithm design and the examples+experience of the instructor, Vincent Hindriksen. About 50% of the training is lectures and 50% practicals. The training materials get improved every time
Hardware Architectures
General optimisations will be discussed, focusing on NVIDIA (limited to OpenCL 1.1), AMD, Intel, ARM MALI, Imagination PowerVR, Qualcomm Adreno, Freescale/Vivante. Specific hardware-targets are by request.
Locations
Default location is Amsterdam. It has a regular and cheap flight-connection to all mayor cities in Europe, good public transport and relatively good hotels and hostels.
Another location can be chosen, if at least three weeks upfront. Locations can be, but not restricted to:
- Berlin
- London
- Paris
- Barcelona
- Dublin
- Vienna
- Geneva
- Stuttgart
- Brussels
Costs
The costs are €1850,- per person (including a copy of the book), when at least 5 people have subscribed to the course.
If you want a private, in-house trainings, please contact us for more information. Trainings outside Europe (Russia, Asia, Americas) are possible, but travel-costs will be added when the group is under 6 people.
Schedule your training
Apply by using the contact form and by filling in the pre-training questionnaire.
We try to get groups together which have common interests. To give you a better experience, you can yourself be rescheduled to another group that is more fit.
If you have any question, just ask. Call +31854865760 (office) or +31645400456 (cell) or use the above contact-form.
See you in class! You will soon be making faster software.
