🎓 Tenth Kokkos tea-time

Yohei Miki will give a talk entitled “Solomon: unified schemes for directive-based GPU offloading”

Yohei Miki is an associate professor at the University of Tokyo. He has a Ph.D. in Science (defended in 2014). His research interests include galactic archaeology, coevolution of massive black holes and galaxies, N-body simulations, and GPU computing.

Solomon: unified schemes for directive-based GPU offloading

Directive-based GPU offloading using OpenACC or OpenMP target is a convenient way to port existing codes originally developed for multicore CPUs. Although OpenACC and OpenMP target provide similar features, both methods have pros and cons. OpenACC has better functions and an abundance of documents, but it is virtually for NVIDIA GPUs. OpenMP target supports NVIDIA/AMD/Intel GPUs but has fewer functions than OpenACC. In this talk, we will present a newly developed header-only library, Solomon (Simple Off-LOading Macros Orchestrating multiple Notations), to unify the interface for GPU offloading with the support of both OpenACC and OpenMP target.

Contribute

Any subject is welcome if it is related to the Kokkos ecosystem (developments, usage, projects, issues, etc.) or even to GPU programming at large. Feel free to contact us to propose a talk: Y29udGFjdEBjZXhhLXByb2plY3Qub3Jn

We target very informal discussion in English. You can propose any subject for discussion even if you don’t have a dedicated slide deck.
