Performance and Micro Architecture

This course is not available anymore

Summary

This part of the “Performance and Micro Architecture” (PMA) course gives an overview of two active research topics: programming heterogeneous systems (e.g. GPUs, Intel Xeon Phi) and auto-tuning techniques. An overview of programming techniques are exposed during the first time slot. The second time slot is dedicated to auto-tuning techniques. These methods aim at helping code efficiency improvement by automating the scan of in optimization search space.

This course is part of the research master’s degree in computer science http://master.irisa.fr/index.php/en/.
