In this this first session you will learn application profiling with the PGI PGProf profiler, building and running OpenACC code on multicore processors with the PGI compiler, before continuing in the second session to then move on to the GPU for maximum performance. No prior OpenACC and GPU Computing experience is required, but students are strongly encouraged to attend both sessions. Some experience with C/C++ or Fortran is required. Please bring your own computer for hands-on portions.
