XSEDE HPC Workshop: GPU Programming Using OpenACC
December 6, 2016

XSEDE, along with the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center will be presenting an OpenACC GPU programming workshop on December 6, 2016.

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. It will have a hands-on component using the Bridges computing platform at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.

Due to demand, this workshop will be telecast to several satellite sites.

Please register before December 2 at https://portal.xsede.org/course-calendar/-/training-user/class/525/session/1124

Please address any questions to Tom Maiden at tmaiden@psc.edu
