What I’m doing now

Right now I am focused on two main topics:

GPU Computing

I first got interested in GPUs when I was building my first PC, I remember seeing the name NVIDIA for the first time back then and buying an RTX 2060 with the only goal being running games at high quality.

Now, I am researching anything GPU, from GPU microarchitecture to programming on GPUs using CUDA. I am following several resources but I reccommend these to get started:

• PMPP (Programming Massively Parallel Processors) - book/video lectures
• NVIDIA whitepapers - great to break down the microarchitecture and design decisions for different chips
• CUDA programming guide - official NVIDIA docs
• CUDA by Example - book

Computer Architecture

You can’t really understand GPUs without understanding the underlying architecture behind them. So I am going to explore the foundations of computing from the silicon upwards. I am using the following resources to guide me:

• Digital Design and Computer Architecture - course by Onur Mutlu available on youtube
  • This also includes Hardware Description Languages to actually implement the things I learn about. (right now I just have iverilog working…)
• Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach - book

You can follow my progress and detailed notes on these topics on the notes page
