Abstract

The rise of multi-core computer hardware has introduced new urgency to learning parallel programming. In this presentation, we again focus on CUDA exercises suitable for undergraduate students. Trying to appeal to a wide audience of today's learners, we have developed a "Game of Life" exercise and an introductory CUDA summary. We discuss our classroom-test of the exercise, our experiences, and our lessons learned.
