Motivation
GPUs are widely used for parallel computations and CUDA is platform which simplifies development of such applications for NVidia GPUs.
AWS has AMIs which have CUDA toolkit pre-installed and can be used on EC2 instances with NVidia GPUs, which will simplify deployment of such applications.

Goals
- Getting familiar with parallel computations using CUDA
- Recapping how AWS works and configuring development environment in the cloud
- Implementing existing parallel computing algorithm, profiling it and applying optimizations
