During fall semester 2012 I took a class entitled How to Write Fast Code. Among other techniques and technologies, we learned a lot about using GPUs for solving highly-parallel problems. Since the material is quite interesting, I presented an overview of the subject matter at a HackPittsburgh Friday night talk in January 2013. The slides don’t fully “stand on their own” as I always try to just show images and then explain them in person during the talk, but they may be interesting to look at regardless.
