Student talks - 2nd set
-----------------------

#. Rules:

   a. Two students may work together to present one talk.
   
   #. Prepare and give 5-10 minute talk on Thurs 3/18, Mon 3/22, or Thurs 3/25 (less preferable).  A team would jointly give one 5-10 minute talk.    I'll pack six talks per day, filling the earliest days first, and fill out unused time with new material.

   #. Email me with your team, topic, and preferred dates.

#. Topic:

   a. In class, we're covering several parallel SW tools: OpenMP, OpenACC, CUDA, Thrust.

   #. In your first set of talks, you also mentioned some parallel tools like MPI and pthreads.

   #. Now, you research and present another tool useful in parallel work, either HW or SW.  It might be:

      i. something from an energy lab, like Kokkos.

      #. something cloud- or docker-based.

      #. parallel facilities in current C++.

      #. a commercial product.

      #. OpenCL.

      #. a debugging tool, e.g., from Nvidia, which I might have mentioned but not described in detail.

      #. something mentioned in a recent GPU Technology Conference (GTC) or Supercomputing Conference talk.
