Ingo Josopait - Introducing the Goopax compiler for GPUs and Barbecue

Dear C++ Community,

for or July meeting we will have Ingo Josopait speaking about Goopax - a modern library based compiler for GPUs. And we will have our annual barbecue session. Bring your own food. We will take care about the coal.

We meet in the C-Base at 7 p.m. and start with the barbecue. The talk will start at 8 p.m.

Abstract:

GPUs can give a significant performance boost, as compared to CPUs. However, writing efficient GPGPU applications can be difficult. I will show, how GPGPU applications can be written directly in C++ with the new "Goopax" compiler. By going through example applications I will discuss the general challenges of writing massively parallel applications for high performance computing on video cards.
