You'll Learn To
- Determine which types of problems and inputs benefit most from parallel processing
- Use built-in functions for automatic parallelization and to specify which tasks should be run in parallel
- Manually manipulate and manage kernels participating in parallel computation
- Define and specify different ways for kernels to interact, such as setting grain sizes and sharing or restricting variable usage
