Intro to Parallel Programming - Nvidia

Learn the fundamentals of parallel computing with the GPU and the CUDA programming environment! In this class, you'll learn about parallel programming by coding a series of image processing algorithms, such as you might find in Photoshop or Instagram. You'll be able to program and run your assignments on high-end GPUs, even if you don't own one yourself.

Why It’s Important to Think Parallel

Third Pillar of Science
Learn how scientific discovery can be accelerated by combining theory and experimentation with computing to fight cancer, prevent heart attacks, and spur new advances in robotic surgery.

Project 1: Greyscale Conversion (for that classy touch!)

Project 2: Smart Blurring (miracle product for removing wrinkles!)

Project 3: HDR Tonemapping (when 1000:1 contrast is not enough!)

Project 4: Red Eye Removal (soothing relief for bright red eyes)

Project 5: Accelerating Histograms (when fast isn't fast enough)

Project 6: Seamless Image Compositing (polar bear in the swimming pool)
