Using OpenMP at NERSC

Helen He, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.

This presentation will describe how OpenMP is used at NERSC. NERSC is the primary supercomputing facility for Office of Science in the US Depart of Energy (DOE). Our next production system will be an Intel Xeon Phi Knights Landing (KNL) system, with 60+ cores per node and 4 hardware threads per core. The recommended programming model is hybrid MPI/OpenMP, which also … read full abstract

GCC support to compile OpenMP 4 target constructs for Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) accelerators

martin-jamborMartin Jambor, SUSE Linux.

The talk summarizes our experience from ongoing development of a GCC branch which takes OpenMP code and compiles it so that it runs on HSA GPGPUs. We outline the architecture of the process with emphasis on the differences between compilation for the host and HSA accelerators … read full abstract
