Paperback. Stop Treating the GPU Like a Faster CPU. Learn to Engineer It as a Complete Computing System.Modern GPU development is no longer just about writing a CUDA kernel and hoping it runs faster. Real performance depends on the entire path from application code to driver, memory system, scheduler, hardware, and production infrastructure.GPU Operating Systems and Parallel Computing gives you a practical, systems-level framework for understanding that entire stack.Starting with the GPU operating environment, this guide explains how host operating systems, drivers, runtimes, contexts, queues, memory mappings, firmware, and hardware schedulers work together. From there, it moves into GPU architecture, parallel decomposition, CUDA programming, memory optimization, asynchronous execution, profiling, debugging, multi-GPU computing, and production deployment.Inside, you'll learn how to: Understand the GPU software and hardware stack-and diagnose problems at the correct layerThink in terms of warps, blocks, grids, streaming multiprocessors, memory hierarchies, and resource limitsDesign parallel algorithms around independence, dependencies, locality, load balance, and scalingBuild and troubleshoot a CUDA development environmentWrite correct CUDA kernels and reason about execution, synchronization, and launch configurationOptimize memory access, data reuse, transfers, and shared-memory usageUse streams, events, CUDA Graphs, and concurrency to build efficient pipelinesProfile workloads systematically instead of relying on optimization folkloreDebug memory errors, race conditions, synchronization failures, and numerical problemsDesign multi-GPU workloads using topology awareness, collectives, MPS, and MIGBuild reliable GPU applications with observability, testing, reproducibility, security, and deployment practicesEvaluate CUDA, HIP, SYCL, and abstraction layers when portability mattersThe book is designed for developers and engineers working in GPU programming, HPC, machine learning, scientific computing, simulation, rendering, backend infrastructure, and high-performance systems. It combines conceptual explanations with diagrams, tables, code examples, exercises, and practical engineering decision processes.Most importantly, it teaches a repeatable approach to GPU performance: establish correctness, measure the complete workload, identify the real bottleneck, make a targeted change, and validate the result.Whether you're learning CUDA, optimizing an existing GPU workload, building a multi-GPU service, or designing production accelerator infrastructure, this book helps you connect parallel programming concepts to the physical realities of modern GPU systems.Build faster GPU software-but more importantly, learn why it is fast, when it will fail, and how to make it dependable.

Stop Treating the GPU Like a Faster CPU. Learn to Engineer It as a Complete Computing System.
Modern GPU development is no longer just about writing a CUDA kernel and hoping it runs faster. Real performance depends on the entire path from application code to driver, memory system, scheduler, hardware, and production infrastructure.
GPU Operating Systems and Parallel Computing gives you a practical, systems-level framework for understanding that entire stack.
Starting with the GPU operating environment, this guide explains how host operating systems, drivers, runtimes, contexts, queues, memory mappings, firmware, and hardware schedulers work together. From there, it moves into GPU architecture, parallel decomposition, CUDA programming, memory optimization, asynchronous execution, profiling, debugging, multi-GPU computing, and production deployment.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
-
Understand the GPU software and hardware stack—and diagnose problems at the correct layer
-
Think in terms of warps, blocks, grids, streaming multiprocessors, memory hierarchies, and resource limits
-
Design parallel algorithms around independence, dependencies, locality, load balance, and scaling
-
Build and troubleshoot a CUDA development environment
-
Write correct CUDA kernels and reason about execution, synchronization, and launch configuration
-
Optimize memory access, data reuse, transfers, and shared-memory usage
-
Use streams, events, CUDA Graphs, and concurrency to build efficient pipelines
-
Profile workloads systematically instead of relying on optimization folklore
-
Debug memory errors, race conditions, synchronization failures, and numerical problems
-
Design multi-GPU workloads using topology awareness, collectives, MPS, and MIG
-
Build reliable GPU applications with observability, testing, reproducibility, security, and deployment practices
-
Evaluate CUDA, HIP, SYCL, and abstraction layers when portability matters
The book is designed for developers and engineers working in GPU programming, HPC, machine learning, scientific computing, simulation, rendering, backend infrastructure, and high-performance systems. It combines conceptual explanations with diagrams, tables, code examples, exercises, and practical engineering decision processes.
Most importantly, it teaches a repeatable approach to GPU performance: establish correctness, measure the complete workload, identify the real bottleneck, make a targeted change, and validate the result.
Whether you're learning CUDA, optimizing an existing GPU workload, building a multi-GPU service, or designing production accelerator infrastructure, this book helps you connect parallel programming concepts to the physical realities of modern GPU systems.
Build faster GPU software—but more importantly, learn why it is fast, when it will fail, and how to make it dependable.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
