[TriZPUG] Cuda Short Courses at UNC

[Chris Calloway]

Michael Fogelman did the best live coding demo I've ever seen at the 
meeting two days ago...

I promised at the meeting that I'd post the details of the Cuda short 
courses from Nvidia coming up at UNC Nov 4-5. It looks like they are 
employee only as they require registration. But here are the details 
anyway for those than can take advantage of them:

The response to our survey on interest in GPU Programming was 
outstanding and we are pleased to announce that Nvidia will be coming to 
the UNC campus to offer two days of GPU training. The workshops will be 
held on November 4th and November 5th in the Upendo Room (rooms 
1118/1119) in the SASB building (Student & Academic Services Buildings) 
on South Campus.  Refreshments and lunch will be provided. Space is 
somewhat limited so please register at http://learnit.unc.edu/workshops 
  so that we can have an accurate head count. The registration is split 
into the two days, please register for each day you will attend.  The 
room will be open and refreshments available beginning at 8:00 each morning.


The agenda is:

This class will be in the Upendo Room (rooms 1118/1119) in the SASB 
building on South Campus.
