BoF on Parallel Computing, Offloading, OpenMP and OpenACC
Tobias Burnus, Thomas Schwinge, Jakub Jelinek
Discussion of topics related to parallel computing and accelerator offloading in GCC. In particular, related to OpenMP and OpenACC and to offloading to AMD and Nvidia GPUs. But also other topics like additional offloading targets or base-language parallelization features of C, C++, Fortran, or other languages are welcome. Planned topics include completion of OpenMP 5.x and addition of more 6.x features, OpenACC extension, improving performance, but also support for a GPU kernel language (programming at the abstraction level of CUDA/HIP – as proposed for the next OpenMP version).
