Many-core programming is a very dynamic research area. Many scientific applications have been ported to GPU architectures in recent years. We will give an introduction to CUDA, OpenCL, and multi-GPU programming using examples of increasing complexity. After introducing the basics the focus will be on optimization and tuning of scientific applications. Topics covered will include:

• CUDA programming model and language extension
• Using libraries as interface for GPU programming (e.g. Thrust)
• Partitioning and granularity of parallel applications
• Debugging and profiling of CUDA kernels
• CUDA performance optimizations
• Multi-GPU programming using MPI
• OpenCL programming model and API
