2009

• GPU metaprogramming using PyCUDA: methods and applications. GPU@BU project launch workshop. Boston University Center for Computational Science, Boston, MA, November 2009.
• High-Order Discontinuous Galerkin Methods and Loop Generation by GPU Metaprogramming. Departement Mathematik, Universität Basel, Switzerland, October 2009.
• Scripting GPUs with PyOpenCL. FACETS Code Jam 3 at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience, Freiburg, Germany, October 2009.
• GPU Metaprogramming using PyCUDA: Methods & Applications. Nvidia GPU Technology Conference, San Jose, CA, October 2009. (slides)
• GPU Metaprogramming Applied to High-Order DG and Loop Generation. Frontiers of Geophysical Simulation, Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences/NCAR Mesa Lab, August 2009.
• GPU Computing: Introduction, Scripting, and Time-domain DG. Advanced Computation Department, SLAC, July 2009.
• Accelerated Computing: GPUs, Cell, Larabee. Day-long lecture at the 2009 HPC Summer Institute, Ken Kennedy Institute for Information Technology, Rice University. May 2009.
• High-Productivity Supercomputing: Metaprogramming GPUs. Minisymposium 134 at SIAM CS&E 2009, organized by Amik St-Cyr and Henry Tufo. Miami, March 2009. (The talk was really more about metaprogramming Discontinuous Galerkin on GPUs and as such somewhat mistitled. In particular, it's a very different talk from the MIT one below, despite the matching title.)
• PyCUDA and PyUblas: Hybrid HPC in Python made easy. Minisymposium 98 at SIAM CS&E 2009, organized by Hans Petter Langtangen, Randy LeVeque and Fernando Perez. Miami, March 2009. (See also Fernando's report and slide collection.)
• High-Productivity Supercomputing: Metaprogramming GPUs. Guest lecture in Nicolas Pinto's and Stephen G. Johnson's class on CUDA programming. MIT, January 2009.
