Explore GPU computation and graphics programming with this 12-minute talk by Alan Rock, President of Summit Peak Technologies, presented at Open Compute Project. Learn about GpuScript, a modern high-level open-source GPU programming language implemented in C# that offers Object-Oriented and Functional programming features with full debugging capabilities. Discover how this language dramatically increases programmer productivity and execution speed, with benchmarks showing up to 23 PFLOPS on a single GPU. The presentation covers novel algorithm design techniques, use of group-shared memory and intrinsic functions, and methods to reduce or eliminate CPU/GPU memory transfer for performance far beyond standard GPU-rated metrics. See real-world examples including nanosecond sorting, FFTs, dense matrix multiplication, microsecond matrix inversion, millisecond neural network training, and nanosecond neural network evaluation.
