Computationally intensive CUDA^® C++ applications in high-performance computing, data science, bioinformatics, and deep learning can be accelerated by using multiple GPUs, which can increase throughput and/or decrease your total runtime. When combined with the concurrent overlap of computation and memory transfers, computation can be scaled across multiple GPUs without increasing the cost of memory transfers. For organizations with multi-GPU servers, whether in the cloud or on NVIDIA DGX^™ systems, these techniques enable you to achieve peak performance from GPU-accelerated applications. And it’s important to implement these single-node, multi-GPU techniques before scaling your applications across multiple nodes.

This workshop covers how to write CUDA C++ applications that efficiently and correctly utilize all available GPUs in a single node, dramatically improving the performance of your applications and making the most cost-effective use of systems with multiple GPUs.

Learning Objectives

By participating in this workshop, you’ll:

Use concurrent CUDA streams to overlap memory transfers with GPU computation
Utilize all available GPUs on a single node to scale workloads across all available GPUs
Combine the use of copy/compute overlap with multiple GPUs
Rely on the NVIDIA Nsight^™ Systems Visual Profiler timeline to observe improvement opportunities and the impact of the techniques covered in the workshop
