NOTE: The format of this event has been changed to online only. NVIDIA will present remotely for the first ~1 hour and the remote connection will be left open for the hands-on session, where representatives from OLCF, NERSC, and NVIDIA will be available to support participants.

OpenACC is a directive-based approach to parallel programming for heterogeneous architectures, where developers specify regions of code (written in C, C++, and Fortran) to be offloaded from a host CPU to a GPU. This approach is meant to reduce the amount of programming effort required of developers relative to low-level models, such as CUDA.

NVIDIA will present a 3-part OpenACC training series intended to help new and existing GPU programmers learn to use the OpenACC API. Each part will include a 1-hour presentation and example exercises. The exercises are meant to reinforce the material from the presentation and can be completed during a 1-hour hands-on session following each lecture. The list of topics is shown in the table below. Please click the individual event links for more details or to register.

NOTE: Participants will register for each part of the series individually.

Remote Participation
Remote participants can watch the presentations via web broadcast and will have access to the training exercises, but temporary access to the compute systems will be limited as follows:

  • Current NERSC users will have Cori-GPU access temporarily added to their accounts.
  • Temporary Summit access will not be available for remote participants.

    • If you have any questions about this training series, please contact Tom Papatheodore ([email protected]) for more information.
