Lecturers: Marc Jordà, Leonidas Kosmidis, Antonio J. Peña
Objectives:
This is an expansion of the topic "OpenACC and other approaches to GPU computing" covered on last years editions of the Introduction to CUDA Programming. This course is delivered by the GPU Center of Excellence (GCOE) awarded by NVIDIA to the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) in association with Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC). It will provide very good introduction to the PUMPS Summer School run jointly with NVIDIA - Further information on the 2022 PUMPS Summer school will follow soon. As an NVIDIA GPU Center of Excellence, BSC and UPC are deeply involved in research and outreach activities around GPU Computing. OpenACC is a high-level, directive-based programming model for GPU computing. It is a very convenient language to leverage the GPU power with minimal code modifications, being the preferred option for non computer scientists. This course will cover the necessary topics to get started with GPU programming in OpenACC, as well as some advanced topics.
Learning Outcomes:
The students who finish this course will able to leverage applications using multiple memory subsystems
Level: INTERMEDIATE: for trainees with some theoretical and practical knowledge; those who finished the beginners course
Prerequisites:
BEGINNERS: for trainees from different background or very little knowledge.
