Event details
Event from the Computational Modelling Group
Dave Norton from the Portland Group International (PGI) will be running a one day introductory workshop on the CUDA Fortran and OpenACC models for developing GPU accelerated code. Two models that provide a straightforward solution for porting code to GPUs.
CUDA Fortran is the Fortran counterpart to CUDA C whilst OpenACC uses a pragma based approach. Acceleration of scientific codes using these models has been reported to result in acceleration of up to a factor of 120x in exceptional cases. Examples can be found on the PGI newsletter: http://www.pgroup.com/resources/articles.htm#pginsider
This will be a hands on workshop utilizing the GPU accelerated nodes on Iridis3. Whilst the details of the course are not yet confirmed the following material will be covered:
- Programming with CUDA Fortran
- Programming with OpenACC (Approximately 2/3 of the course)
- Differences between OpenACC and the PGI Accelerator model
- Using OpenACC across multiple GPUs with OpenMP
Numbers will be limited, so reserve your place as soon as possible by contacting Karl Wilkinson.
