XSEDE HPC Workshop: OpenACC | December 6
Accelerate your HPC applications using graphical processing units (GPU)!
Tuesday, December 6
11 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Webb Center, Norfolk Room
This hands-on workshop will introduce parallel computing on graphical processing units (GPU) using OpenACC. (OpenACC is a directive-based approach similar to OpenMP to expose parallelism and offload the heavy computational work onto a GPU, which can speed up compute-intensive applications by a large factor.) This workshop is presented by the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) and simulcast at ODU. The materials will be taught at an introductory level. Basic C or Fortran programming is needed, but no prior knowledge of parallel programming is required. Attendees will have an opportunity to apply the lessons learned through hands-on exercises, which will be performed on a real supercomputer at PSC. Please bring your own laptop in order to complete the exercises.

Seating is limited and the course is open to the public, so register soon. Please contact hpc@odu.edu if you have questions regarding this workshop.
