Michael Wolfe Presents: Why Iteration Space Tiling?

In this Invited Talk from SC17, Michael Wolfe from NVIDIA presents: Why Iteration Space Tiling? The talk is based on his noted paper, which won the SC17 Test of Time Award. “Tiling is well-known and has been included in many compilers and code transformation systems. The talk will explore the basic contribution of the SC1989 paper to the current state of iteration space tiling.”

Video: OpenACC Eases GPU Programming for HPC at SC17

In this video from SC17, Sunita Chandrasekaran from OpenACC.org and Stan Posey from NVIDIA describe how OpenACC eases GPU programming for HPC. “At SC17, OpenACC.org announced milestones highlighting OpenACC’s broad adoption in weather and climate models that simulate the Earth’s atmosphere, including one of this year’s Gordon Bell finalist. Additionally, the organization announced their hackathon momentum and the new  OpenACC 2.6 specification.”

New Book: OpenACC for Programmers

Sunita Chandrasekaran and Guido Juckeland have published a new book on Programming with OpenACC. “Scientists and technical professionals can use OpenACC to leverage the immense power of modern GPUs without the complexity traditionally associated with programming them. OpenACC for Programmers integrates contributions from 19 leading parallel-programming experts from academia, public research organizations, and industry.”
