Student talks (round 1) finished
--------------------------------

Note: in a month, we'll have another round.


Nvidia GPU and accelated computing
----------------------------------

This is from https://developer.nvidia.com/teaching-kits-downloads

My local copy of what I'm using is in /parallel-class/GPU-Teaching-Kit-Accelerated-Computing

Today we did through module 2.


Changes this year
-----------------

For students who've looked at last year's course, here are some upcoming changes.

#. I'm dropping Stanford's parallel course.  It's very nice but just too old.

#. I'm adding material from Nvidia's developer site.

#. I'll be presenting OpenACC.

#. I'll think I'll recommend the PG compiler instead of g++.

#. That requires recommending docker.
