find a project where you have fun. maybe something in chemistry that can be parallelized. i suggest you buy the book "CUDA by example" and start right programming in C with CUDA extensions on your Nvidia card... the examples in the book are neat. get them working!

Cool, thank you for the suggestion! I will look around for a used one or buy one myself since it is not too expensive.
Does the book start at the very basics, e.g. "What is parallelised computing?"? Because as of now my experience is very limited as I mentioned before.
yes believe me it starts at the very basic. it is in C, so you do not have the barrier of C++ with object oriented programming.
it does not teach you well about parallelised computing but it forces you to write parallelized code for simple examples. and remember simple things work, complex things never work!
you just have to install the Nvidia CUDA Development kit on your rig, it is quite a huge package.
i sent the GRC to your address. i feel like funding myself 22 years ago :-) might the source be with you and take care @applepiie
Thanks, it's just great! I wrote a comment on the other part.
