Languages such as JavaScript may receive a lot of hype nowadays, but for high-performance, close-to-the-metal computing, C++ is still king. This webinar takes you on a tour of the HPC universe, with a focus on parallelism, be it instruction-level (SIMD), data-level, task-based (multithreading, OpenMP), or cluster-based (MPI). We also discuss how specific hardware can significantly accelerate computation by looking at two such technologies: NVIDIA CUDA and Intel Xeon Phi. (Some scarier tech such as FPGAs are also mentioned). These slides were used as part of May 29, 2014 webinar, High-Performance Computing with C++.
