The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, the National Institute for Computational Sciences and Georgia Tech will present an OpenACC GPU programming workshop on October 16 and 17. Based on demand, we will present this workshop at 10 satellite sites.

You may attend at any of the following sites. Register by following the link for your preferred location. Please note that the hands-on accounts will be limited to 100 students, available across all sites and awarded by order of registration.

• Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
• National Institute for Computational Sciences
• National Center for Supercomputing Applications
• Pennsylvania State University
• University of Oklahoma
• University of South Carolina
• University of Kentucky
• Louisiana State University
• University of Utah
• University of California, Los Angeles

The hands-on platform will be Keeneland, the NSF’s premier GPU resource. The agenda is designed as two short days to be time-zone friendly:

OpenACC is the accepted standard using compiler directives to allow quick development of GPU capable codes using standard languages and compilers. It has been used with great success to accelerate real applications within very short development periods. This workshop assumes knowledge of either C or Fortran programming. It will have a hands-on component using the NSF large scale GPU computing platform presently being deployed at the National Institute for Computational Sciences.
