Abstract:
In this session we explore how to analyze and optimize the performance of kernels running on the GPU. Working with a real-world example, we will walk through an analysis-driven process leading to a series of kernel-level optimizations, using NVIDIA's profiling tools as an example. Attendees will learn about the fundamental performance limiters-instruction throughput, memory throughput, and latency and we will present strategies to identify and tackle each type of limiter.
