Fundamentals of Accelerated Computing with OpenACC (FACO)

 

Course Overview

Learn the basics of OpenACC, a high-level programming language for programming on GPUs. This course is for anyone with some C/C++ of Fortran experience who is interested in accelerating the performance of their applications beyond the limits of CPU-only programming. In this course, you’ll learn:

  • How to profile and optimize your CPU-only applications to identify hot spots for acceleration
  • How to use OpenACC directives to GPU accelerate your codebase
  • How to optimize data movement between the CPU and GPU accelerator

Upon completion, you'll be ready to use OpenACC to GPU accelerate CPU-only applications.

Please note that once a booking has been confirmed, it is non-refundable. This means that after you have confirmed your seat for an event, it cannot be cancelled and no refund will be issued, regardless of attendance.

Prerequisites

  • Basic C/C++ or Fortran competency, including familiarity with variable types, loops, conditional statements, functions, and array manipulations.
  • No previous knowledge of GPU programming is assumed.

Course Objectives

  • Profile and optimize your CPU-only applications to identify hot spots for acceleration.
  • Use OpenACC directives to GPU-accelerate your codebase.
  • Optimize data movement between the CPU and GPU accelerator.
