All lectures are a combination of teaching and hands-on tutorials

NVIDIA’s foundational training material is augmented with Acceleware’s experience over
the past 5.5 years and with examples specific to an HPC audience

“The Acceleware trainer did a great job while he was here.  Actually, he was awesome.  The class was well prepared and well delivered.  The trainer’s depth of knowledge exceeded everyone’s expectations.  He has obviously been immersed in the GPU development environment for years.  I had the pleasure of attending the second week of training.”


Mark McFarlane,
Saudi Aramco		 “The 10x-100x performance benefit from using NVIDIA’s GPUs has companies in a broad selection of industries clamouring to port their applications to the massively parallel programming model of the GPU. These companies, in fields such as seismic exploration, financial simulation or medical imaging can now augment their staff with Acceleware’s seasoned team of CUDA software developers to more rapidly bring their applications to market”
