Book Descriptions:
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.

 

Coverage includes

• Preparing your computer to run CUDA programs
• Understanding CUDA’s parallelism model and C extensions
• Transferring data between CPU and GPU
• Managing timing, profiling, error handling, and debugging
• Creating 2D grids
• Interoperating with OpenGL to provide real-time user interactivity
• Performing basic simulations with differential equations
• Using stencils to manage related computations across threads
• Exploiting CUDA’s shared memory capability to enhance performance
• Interacting with 3D data: slicing, volume rendering, and ray casting
• Using CUDA libraries
• Finding more CUDA resources and code

 

Realistic example applications include

• Visualizing functions in 2D and 3D
• Solving differential equations while changing initial or boundary conditions
• Viewing/processing images or image stacks
• Computing inner products and centroids
• Solving systems of linear algebraic equations
• Monte-Carlo computations

How to get the good score toefl, or how to teach children, there are many kinds of book that exist now. The authors nowadays always try to improve their expertise in writing, they also doing some research before they write to their book. One of them is this CUDA for Engineers: An Introduction to High-Performance Parallel Computing.

Ada Peterson:

The guide with title CUDA for Engineers: An Introduction to High-Performance Parallel Computing contains a lot of information that you can learn it. You can get a lot of advantage after read this book. This specific book exist new know-how the information that exist in this publication represented the condition of the world currently. That is important to yo7u to know how the improvement of the world. This book will bring you with new era of the the positive effect.

Marcie Johnson:

A lot of people said that they feel fed up when they reading a reserve. They are directly felt the idea when they get a half areas of the book. You can choose typically the book CUDA for Engineers: An Introduction to High-Performance Parallel Computing to make your reading is interesting. Your own skill of reading proficiency is developing when you such as reading. Try to choose very simple book to make you enjoy to study it and mingle the impression about book and studying especially. It is to be initial opinion for you to like to start a book and learn it. Beside that the book CUDA for Engineers: An Introduction to High-Performance Parallel Computing can to be your new friend when you're experience alone and confuse using what must you're doing of this time.
