DL 201 Week 1 Goals and Objectives

[jamescavanagh]

Notebook Goals

1. Grasp the significance of the fundamental rules of GPU Parrell programming, so that we can understand why common error messages occur, and have confidence reading code documentation and examples.

2. Have an appreciation for why GPU based machine learning algorithms are processed differently than in serial, sequential programming

3. To expand one's knowledge of basic concepts through a project based approach rather than laying out obsure theories.
   Objectives
   Understand the basics of Array-Oriented programming done on a GPU.

Grasp how data is stored as:

Vectors 1D columns/rows of data Matricies 2D tables of data Tensors 3D extensions of matricies How to access data inside of a tensor

Develop an understsanding of indexing rows and columns

Build a conceptual foundation for understanding how to manipulate data in tensors
