Part 1: Introduction and Monte Carlo integration

In this three hour video, we go through an introduction to GPU computing using Jupyter Notebooks and PyCUDA, and perform Monte Carlo integration on the GPU. We also go through optimization techniques to vastly improve the performance of our solution.

• Slides
• Jupyter Notebook - Hello World PyCUDA
• Jupyter Notebook - Monte Carlo

Part 2: Numerical simulation on GPUs

In this three hour video, we go through topics related to GPU computing using Jupyter Notebooks and PyCUDA, and perform numerical simulation of the heat equation on the GPU. We also go through best practices for scientific computing (or any computing for that matter).

• Slides 1 - best practices
• Slides 2 - hyperbolic conservation laws
• Slides 3 - simulation on GPUs
• Jupyter Notebook - Heat equation in 1D
