2. Basic Metis Usage

This first chapter will provide two into-the-fire projects that will teach you the core systems of Metis. This will be done through a simple C++ project, followed by an optimized version written with CUDA.

It's recommended to have a minimal knowledge of C++, CUDA, and Linux / Bash. If you haven't used any of these three before, or if it's been a while, linked below are some introductory resources:

• Linux / Bash
• C++
• CUDA

These next two chapters lay the foundational skills needed to use the advanced techniques in the following chapters, and it is highly recommended that you read them before proceeding!

Overview of the Chapters

Chapter 2.1 - C/C++ on Metis
