This course will aid in students in learning in concepts that scale the use of GPUs and the CPUs that manage their use beyond the most common consumer-grade GPU installations. They will learn how to manage asynchronous workflows, sending and receiving events to encapsulate data transfers and control signals. Also, students will walk through application of GPUs to sorting of data and processing images, implementing their own software using these techniques and libraries.

There are 5 modules in this course
The purpose of this module is for students to understand how the course will be run, topics, how they will be assessed, and expectations.
What's included
3 videos1 reading1 programming assignment2 discussion prompts1 ungraded lab
In professional settings, use of one CPU managing one GPU, is not a viable configuration to solve complex challenges. Students will apply CUDA capabilities for allowing multiple CPUs to communicate and manage software kernels on multiple GPUs. This will allow for scaling the size of input data and computational complexity. Students will learn the advantages and limitations of this form of synchronous processing.
What's included
7 videos2 programming assignments1 peer review1 discussion prompt2 ungraded labs
Students will learn to utilize CUDA events and streams in their programs, to allow for asynchronous data and control flows. This will allow more interactive and long-lasting software, including analytic user interfaces, near live-streaming video or financial feeds, and dynamic business processing systems.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, but for grading purposes you will still need to upload any software artifacts (source code, header files, etc.) into the Coursera lab environment.
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
