DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Klemens Noga (ACC Cyfronet AGH)\, Michał Obara (Nar
 odowe Centrum Badań Jądrowych)\, Konrad Klimaszewski (Narodowe Centrum B
 adań Jądrowych)\n\nThe training provides a practical introduction to gen
 eral-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) with a strong 
 focus on the PyTorch framework. The aim is to provide the skills needed to
  design\, implement\, and profile GPU-accelerated computations. By the end
  of the training\, attendees will be able to:\n\nuse PyTorch tensors on GP
 U to implement basic numerical algorithms\,\nuse PyTorch for linear algebr
 a\,\nmanage CPU–GPU memory transfers and reason about performance\,\npro
 file GPU code and spot the main bottlenecks\,\nwrite simple custom kernels
  in Triton and plug them into PyTorch workflows.\n\n \nLevel\n\nTarget au
 dience\nTraining is intended for users who would like to accelerate their 
 Python numerical computations using graphics processing units (GPGPUs).\nA
