January - NVIDIA presents Think Parallel with Bryce Adelstein Lelbach

Date: 15. January 2025

Todays event features Bryce Adelstein Lelbach with his talk Think Parallel! This event is sponsored by the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute, where you can learn more about parallelism by taking one of NVIDIA`s self-paced trainings for C++ practitioners. The NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI) offers resources for diverse learning needs—from learning materials to self-paced and live training to certifications and educator programs.

By default, we think sequentially. Parallelism and asynchrony are often seen as challenging and complex. Tools to be used sparingly and cautiously, and only by experts.
But we must shatter these assumptions, for today, we live in a parallel world. Almost every hardware platform is parallel, from the smallest embedded devices to the largest supercomputers.
We must change our mindset. Anyone who writes code must think in parallel. Parallelism must become our default.
In this example-driven talk, we will journey into the world of parallelism. We'll look at different algorithms and data structures in depth, comparing and contrasting different implementation strategies and exploring how they will perform both sequentially and in parallel.
During this voyage, we'll uncover and discuss some foundational principles of parallelism, such as latency hiding, localizing communication, and efficiency vs performance tradeoffs. By the time we're done, you'll be thinking in parallel.
