Homework 4 assigned, due Monday, 4 May 2020.
This assignment is based on three papers, including the Google
TPU paper.
Linked the Jouppi Google TPU paper to the lecture notes and daily lectures
pages, the daily lectures also has the Zoom recording of today's lecture.
The Jouppi paper is free so off-campus access should not be a problem.

Linked the live lecture materials and recent Zoom lecture recordings
to the new daily lectures page.
Put links to Wednesday
(1 April) and Friday (3 April)
video and Friday (3 April) audio on
the what's new list (which is what you are reading now). The 1 April
lecture is Zoom-hosted and includes a transcript. The March and 3
April lectures are stored on the ECE servers and so don't include
(AFAIK) a transcript. I've found that the 30-day deletion of cloud
recordings can be turned off, so I'll be using cloud recording for the
remainder of the lectures.

Homework 2 assigned, due Monday, 6 April 2020.
This is a paper-only assignment.

Uploaded video and
audio of today's Zoom lectures. Those
are links to the media files, and may not work well. For example, you
many need to download the entire video file (124 MB) before it can be
viewed. I will look for better way to post video so that it can be
streamed. There is a small problem with the video: it shows
participants in a pop-up window blocking some material. On my screen
the participant window was on the far right.

Classes cancelled week of 16 March 2020. I will probably assign
another homework and perhaps we can hold informal classes the week of
the 16th. We'll talk about this in our last in-peson class tomorrow.
Of course, this Web page will be updated. Please practice social
distancing!! Slowing the rate of infection will save lives.

Some have had trouble starting the CUDA debugger under
Emacs. If that happens run "cuda-gdb hw01-cuda-debug" in
a shell (a terminal window opened from Gnome or a shell window
in Emacs). To set breakpoints with gdb run this way
enter "break LINE".

Added cuda debugging instructions to the procedures page.
28 February 2020, 14:58:18 CST
Made minor updates to the procedures page. Note that debug
instructions are under the Programming Homework Work Flow
section.
Post the version of matrix/vtx transform code
that we ended up with in todays class. The original file
is at path cuda/intro-vtx-transform/vtx-xform-size.cu
in the code repo.
