Coding for GPUs Using Standard C++, April 7, 2022
IntroductionCUDA C++, CUDA Fortran, and OpenACC are hugely successful approaches to GPU programming, but wouldn’t it be nice to write an application that can run on GPUs and multicore CPUs out of the box, without any additional APIs? The parallelism features available in ISO C++ and ISO Fortran enable developers to write their codes such that the baseline code is parallel and ready to run on any parallel platform they encounter.Join us for the first part of a series that covers how ISO C++… Read More »
An Introduction to Programming with SYCL on Perlmutter and Beyond, March 1, 2022
IntroductionSYCL is an open standard programming model that allows developers to use standard C++ code to program for a range of GPUs and other accelerator processors. This means that it is possible to develop using modern C++ code and target Nvidia, AMD and Intel GPUs from a single code base. To enable SYCL on the latest supercomputers, Codeplay has been working in partnership with different National Laboratories to bring SYCL support to Perlmutter, Polaris and Frontier. Join engineers from… Read More »
