C++ AMP, Part 1 of 2: Parallelism and Management

The course will start with an overview of how you can analyze code in terms of kinds of work, and identify where C++AMP might be useful. We’ll talk about why C++AMP is useful for taking full advantage of modern computing systems, and how you can begin to use C++AMP constructs in your existing code. We’ll also compare C++AMP to other popular heterogeneous computing models, so that you can see the tradeoffs associated with each. Then we’re going to cover the abstractions available in C++AMP for managing the accelerator devices themselves. Once an application has a handle on the device it wants to use for computation, it will also need to express data collections and data indexes, possibly in multiple dimensions.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.
