For Those Preparing for Research Interviews in Systems Area

Question

Hi, As I had told earlier Research interviews are not like GATE exam were only basics are checked. But it is simpler because we need to concentrate only on a few or even 1 subject unlike 10+ for GATE. i.e., we need more depth than breadth. Since I have no depth in other areas I'll just give a few topics to read in Systems area and in particular high performance computing. I put it as a question and not a blog so that I can add materials as answer here.

Thanks, Sir. eagerly waited for this kind of post.

First one - starting my first cuda program. This is a very nice presentation from nvidia. You may just try these examples out..

Thanks !. Sir, I ran a few examples last year on a friends system. mine having no Nvidia GPU :(. Few others Cuda C books are also available.

Sir, is there any way out on intel graphics?

Sir, I found no alternative of Cuda in intel till now, Other ways to learn cpu-gpu programming task ?

yes, but having no Nvidia might be helpful while using linux :) I intentionally took a laptop without nvidia.

I'm not sure of how to use Intel GPUs. OpenGL should be used I guess. Cuda is only for Nvidia. May be you can try "ssh" into some machines. Not sure if Amazon AWS gives machines with nvidia for free. Normal EC2 instance, they give free for a year.

This can be used for trial. Hourly pricing is there.
