Advanced NVIDIA HPC SDK Training

March 4 - 5, 2026

Remote

NERSC is hosting an advanced NVIDIA HPC SDK Training, led by NVIDIA HPC Solutions Architects Vineeth Gutta and Scot Halverson.

The NVIDIA HPC SDK is a comprehensive suite of compilers, libraries, and software tools designed to enable developers to program and optimize high-performance computing (HPC) applications on NVIDIA GPUs and CPUs. It supports C, C++, and Fortran, utilizing CUDA, OpenACC, and OpenMP to maximize performance and portability for scientific simulations and modeling.

Description

NVIDIA will present a two-day training session on software for high performance computing developers to build and optimize applications that run on NVIDIA GPU-accelerated systems. We’ll cover NVIDIA’s HPC SDK, including compilers (C, C++, Fortran), libraries (math, communication), and tools, as well as cover best practices to enable scientists to effectively use NVIDIA software for high performance computing. In addition to the HPC SDK, we’ll do a deeper dive into C++ Standard Parallelism, profilers, and correctness tools such as NSight Systems, NSight Compute, and Compute Sanitizer, as well as a tutorial on NVIDIA’s newest GPU programming model, CuTile
