Programming GPUs is known to be fraught with some extra complexity compared to sequential programs. PyOpenCL is a package that joins scripting and GPU programming together. PyOpenCL can be used in a large number of roles, for example as a prototyping and exploration tool, to help with optimization, as a bridge to the GPU for existing legacy codes (in Fortran, C, or other languages), or, perhaps most excitingly, to support an unconventional hybrid way of writing high-performance codes. This short course teaches these roles and how to get the most out of PyOpenCL (and also PyCUDA).
