A CUDA Kernel Author's Toolkit

Details
Hello CUDA community,

We're happy to announce our next online meetup!
On June 19th (19:00 MSK (UTC+3)), we'll talk about utility functions and classes for writing device-side CUDA code and more. We will add a link to the Zoom meeting closer to the event so stay tuned.

Speaker:
Eyal Rozenberg

Abstract:
While C++ has such a library - CUDA does not: The C++ standard library
is intended for host-side code; and while some of it relevant for
device-side use - most of it really isn't, even with an adapted
implementation. On the other hand - for those of us writing kernels, the
needs fulfilled by a language's standard library are not met: We often
find ourselves lacking adequate abstraction and generification of
hardware features; vocabulary and idioms which would otherwise be
repeating snippets in our code; and data structures and algorithms whose semantics involve too much GPU "special sauce" to be written outside of kernels.

The CUDA KAT library is a limited collection of contributions towards
filling that gap: Those pieces of code you may have found yourself
writing again and again into your kernels, which first find their way
into your boilerplate includes, then finally become worthy of sprucing
up and rounding out into a public library.

Note: In the discussion/Q&A following the talk, participants are
encouraged to compare and contrast some of their own kernel-authoring idioms with those suggested.
