This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Accelerator Programming Using Directives, WACCPD 2017, held in Denver, CO, USA, in November 2017. The 9 full papers presented have been carefully reviewed and selected from 14 submissions. The papers share knowledge and experiences to program emerging complex parallel computing systems. They are organized in the following three sections: applications; environments; and program evaluation.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 34th International Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing, LCPC 2020, held in Delaware, NE, USA, in October 2021.Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually. The 9 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 11 submissions. The conference covers all aspects of languages, compiler techniques, run-time environments, and compiler-related performance evaluation for parallel and high-performance computing. The scope of the workshop encompasses foundational results, as well as practical experience reports and bold new ideas for future systems.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Accelerator Programming Using Directives, WACCPD 2020, which took place on November 20, 2021. The workshop was initially planned to take place in Atlanta, GA, USA, and changed to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic.WACCPD is one of the major forums for bringing together users, developers, and the software and tools community to share knowledge and experiences when programming emerging complex parallel computing systems. The 5 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 7 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: OpenMP; OpenACC; and Domain-specific Solvers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of 3 workshops co-located with International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis, SC19, held in Denver, CO, USA, in November 2019. The 12 full papers presented in this proceedings feature the outcome of the 6th Annual Workshop on HPC User Support Tools, HUST 2019, International Workshop on Software Engineering for HPC-Enabled Research, SE-HER 2019, and Third Workshop on Interactive High-Performance Computing, WIHPC 2019.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Accelerator Programming Using Directives, WACCPD 2018, held in Dallas, TX, USA, in November 2018. The 6 full papers presented have been carefully reviewed and selected from 12 submissions. The papers share knowledge and experiences to program emerging complex parallel computing systems. They are organized in the following three sections: applications; using openMP; and program evaluation.

The Complete Guide to OpenACC for Massively Parallel Programming Scientists and technical professionals can use OpenACC to leverage the immense power of modern GPUs without the complexity traditionally associated with programming them. OpenACCTM for Programmers is one of the first comprehensive and practical overviews of OpenACC for massively parallel programming. This book integrates contributions from 19 leading parallel-programming experts from academia, public research organizations, and industry. The authors and editors explain each key concept behind OpenACC, demonstrate how to use essential OpenACC development tools, and thoroughly explore each OpenACC feature set. Throughout, you’ll find realistic examples, hands-on exercises, and case studies showcasing the efficient use of OpenACC language constructs. You’ll discover how OpenACC’s language constructs can be translated to maximize application performance, and how its standard interface can target multiple platforms via widely used programming languages. Each chapter builds on what you’ve already learned, helping you build practical mastery one step at a time, whether you’re a GPU programmer, scientist, engineer, or student. All example code and exercise solutions are available for download at GitHub. Discover how OpenACC makes scalable parallel programming easier and more practical Walk through the OpenACC spec and learn how OpenACC directive syntax is structured Get productive with OpenACC code editors, compilers, debuggers, and performance analysis tools Build your first real-world OpenACC programs Exploit loop-level parallelism in OpenACC, understand the levels of parallelism available, and maximize accuracy or performance Learn how OpenACC programs are compiled Master OpenACC programming best practices Overcome common performance, portability, and interoperability challenges Efficiently distribute tasks across multiple processors Register your product at informit.com/register for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.
