Session
Want to write your own GPU algorithms, but not sure how to get started or keep them portable? Come to this hands-on session to learn tile programming with CUDA Tile and cuTile Python: you will build an accurate mental model of tiles and thread groups, write and debug real GPU kernels in a browser-based JupyterLab (no installation), profile and tune performance with NVIDIA Nsight, and see how the same tile code applies across DL and HPC examples like LLM inference and conjugate gradient, including when to use tiles vs SIMT and how to mix both.
