  1. OPENACC MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS July and August 2018

  2. WHAT IS OPENACC Open Specification Developed by OpenACC.org Consortium Designed for performance and portability on CPUs and GPUs Add Simple Compiler Directive Directives-based programming model for parallel computing main() { <serial code> #pragma acc kernels #pragma acc kernels { <parallel code> } } SIMPLE POWERFUL & PORTABLE 2

  3. OPENACC GROWING MOMENTUM Wide Adoption Across Key HPC Codes VASP Top Quantum Chemistry and Material Science Code OVER 100 APPS* USING OpenACC For VASP, OpenACC is the way forward for GPU acceleration. Performance is similar to CUDA, and OpenACC dramatically decreases GPU development and maintenance efforts. We’re excited to collaborate with NVIDIA and PGI as an early adopter of Unified Memory. ANSYS Fluent Gaussian GTC XGC ACME FLASH COSMO Numeca silica IFPEN, RMM-DIIS on P100 VASP LSDalton MPAS GAMERA Prof. Georg Kresse Computational Materials Physics University of Vienna * Applications in production and development 3

  4. OPENACC IN THE NEWS  Blog: Using OpenACC to Port Solar Storm Modeling Code to GPUs by Ron Caplan from Predictive Science Read More  InsideHPC: OpenACC Helps Scientists Port their code at the Center for Application Readiness (CARR) - Interview with Jack Wells (ORNL) and Duncan Poole (OpenACC.org) Read More  InsideHPC: Porting HPC Codes with Directives and OpenACC - interview with Michael Wolfe (OpenACC.org) Read More 4

  5. RESOURCES Paper: Abstractions and Directives for Adapting Wavefront Algorithms to Future Architectures We parallelize the Koch-Baker-Alcouffe (KBA) parallel-wavefront sweep algorithm in the main kernel of Minisweep (the miniapplication) using CUDA, OpenMP and OpenACC. Our OpenACC implementation running on NVIDIA’s nextgeneration Volta GPU boasts an 85.06x speedup over serial code, which is larger than CUDA’s 83.72x speedup over the same serial implementation.
