AMD GPU Training

This course will be provided as ONLINE course (using Microsoft Teams).

This course will be a deep dive in the CDNA (AMD GPU) architecture and ecosystem. Participants will also get an overview of the HIP software.

After this course, participants will

  • have gained knowledge about software enablement on AMD GPU using HIP, and
  • be able to port their applications from CUDA to HIP.
