  1. OPENACC MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS April 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

Application of OpenACC to Computer Aided Drug Discovery software suite "Sanjeevini" 4. An Agile Approach to Building a GPU-enabled and Performance-portable Global Cloud-resolving Atmospheric Model LEARN MORE 5. Acceleration of a Computational Fluid Dynamics Code with GPU Using OpenACC 7

  8. RESOURCES Paper: OpenACC performance for simulating 2D radial dambreak using FVM HLLE flux By P H Gunawan and M R Pahlevi “The aim of this paper is to investigate the performances of openACC platform for computing 2D radial dambreak. Here, the shallow water equation will be used to describe and simulate 2D radial dambreak with finite volume method (FVM) using HLLE flux...The results show the using OpenACC, the computational time is reduced. For the dry and wet radial dambreak simulations using 2048 grids, the computational time of parallel is obtained 575.984 s and 584.830 s respectively for both simulations. These results show the successful of OpenACC when they are compared with the serial time of dry and wet radial dambreak simulations which are collected 28047.500 s and 29269.40 s respectively.” READ NOW 8
