HPC Workshop: GPU Programming Using OpenACC

HPC Workshop: GPU Programming Using OpenACC
November 13, 2024
The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is pleased to present a workshop on GPU programming using OpenACC.

OpenACC is the accepted standard using compiler directives to allow quick development of GPU capable codes using standard languages and compilers. It has been used with great success to accelerate real applications within very short development periods. This workshop assumes knowledge of either C or Fortran programming. Hands-on exercises using the Bridges-2 computing platform at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center are included to give attendees practice with the concepts presented.

This will be an IN PERSON event hosted by various satellite sites, there WILL NOT be a direct to desktop option for this event.

The satellite site list(subject to change) is as follows:

California State University, San Bernadino, High Performance Computing Program
Carnegie Mellon University (PSC)
Clarkson University
Georgia State University
University of Houston – Clear Lake
Iowa State University
Jet Propulsion Laboratory – NASA (Not Open To Public)
National Center for Supercomputing Applications
Northwestern University (CIERA)
Purdue University
West Virginia State University
University of Utah
University of California, Los Angeles
