CUDA for Engineers gives you direct,hands-on engagement with personal,high-performance parallel computing,enabling you to do computations on a gaming-level PC that would have required a supercomputer just a few years ago.
The authors introduce the essentials of CUDA C programming clearly and concisely,quickly guiding you from running sample programs to building your own code. Throughout,you’ll learn from complete examples you can build,run,and modify,complemented by additional projects that deepen your understanding. All projects are fully developed,with detailed building instructions for all major platforms.
Ideal for any scientist,engineer,or student with at least introductory programming experience,this guide assumes no specialized background in GPU-based or parallel computing. In an appendix,the authors also present a refresher on C programming for those who need it.
