Comments on: CAPS and Pathscale to create a new standard for hybrid programming [UPDATED] http://insidehpc.com/2010/06/24/caps-and-pathscale-to-create-a-new-standard-for-hybrid-programming/ HPC News Without the Noise for Supercomputing Professionals | insideHPC Fri, 03 May 2013 04:44:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: James Beyer & Eric Stotzer (Co-chairs OpenMP accelerator subcommittee) http://insidehpc.com/2010/06/24/caps-and-pathscale-to-create-a-new-standard-for-hybrid-programming/#comment-234868 James Beyer & Eric Stotzer (Co-chairs OpenMP accelerator subcommittee) Sat, 26 Jun 2010 02:54:41 +0000 http://insidehpc.com/?p=12323#comment-234868 The OpenMP language committee is working on standardizing extensions to the OpenMP language to support programming accelerators, such as GPUs. This directive-based approach is based on a generalization of the initial work done at PGI. The accelerator sub-committee includes representatives from Cray, PGI, IBM, TI, Intel and CAPS. It is expected that the OpenMP 4.0 specification will include support for an accelerator programming model.

While a quote or two of mine is floating around with profanities I prefer to keep my posts PG13.. (and it was *a lot* of help from Cray which we're still quite grateful for) John – You forget that this could be syndicated… While a quote or two of mine is floating around with profanities I prefer to keep my posts PG13..

Oh, and Christopher, you can say "ass" on insideHPC. You are among friends here :-) Yeah, I was very happy to see PathScale scrabble up out of the rubble of SiCortex (with a little help from Cray, as I recall).

Best of luck with it..

Bergström (CTO - PathScale) Fri, 25 Jun 2010 00:02:35 +0000 http://insidehpc.com/?p=12323#comment-234644 PathScale compiler division has remained fairly independent of the parents companies even during the acquisitions and spin-offs over the last few years. When SiCortex went belly last year we took the opportunity to go back into stealth mode and just really get some serious engineering done. We had a lot of work to catch up with the market trends, but I humbly say today marks the turning point when people will stop asking if we're alive and start seeing us kick *** again.
