OpenMP GPU Directives for Parallel Accelerated Supercomputers - an alternative to CUDA from Cray perspective

Enterprises & SME Research & Science
OpenMP GPU Directives for Parallel Accelerated Supercomputers - an alternative to CUDA from Cray perspective

Overview

This workshop will cover the directive-based programming model based on OpenMP v4 whose multi-vendor support allows users to portably develop applications for parallel accelerated supercomputers. It also includes comparison to the predecessor interface OpenACC v2. The workshop will also demonstrate how to use the Cray Programming Environment tools to identify application bottlenecks, facilitate the porting, provide accelerated performance feedback and to tune the ported applications. The Cray scientific libraries for accelerators will be presented, and interoperability of the directives approach with these and with CUDA will be demonstrated. Through application case studies and tutorials, users will gain direct experience of using both OpenMP and OpenACC directives in realistic applications. Users may also bring their own codes to discuss with Cray specialists or begin porting. This course provides scientific training in Computational Science, and in addition, the scientific exchange of the participants among themselves.

PRACE PATC and bwHPC-C5

HLRS is part of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS), which is one of the six PRACE Advanced Training Centres (PATCs) that started in Feb. 2012. The mandate for the PATCs is as follows: "The PRACE Advanced Training Centres will serve as European hubs of advanced, world-class training for researchers working in the computational sciences." (see D3.2.3)
This course is a PATC course, see also the PRACE Training Portal and Events. For participants from public research institutions in PRACE countries, the course fee is sponsored through the PRACE PATC program.

HLRS is also member of the Baden-Württemberg initiative bwHPC-C5.
This course is also provided within the framework of the bwHPC-C5 user Support.
