We have so far concentrated on the practical experience of parallel programming, which consists of CUDA programming model features, performance and numerical considerations, parallel patterns, and application case studies. We will now switch gear to more abstract concepts. We will first generalize parallel programming into a computational thinking process of decomposing a domain problem into well-defined, coordinated work units that can each be realized with efficient numerical methods and well-known algorithms. A programmer ...
