What is OpenACC?

OpenACC is a user-driven directive-based performance-portable parallel programming model designed for scientists and engineers interested in porting their codes to a wide-variety of heterogeneous HPC hardware platforms and architectures with significantly less programming effort than required with a low-level model.

#pragma acc data copy(A) create(Anew)
while ( error > tol  &&  iter  <  iter_max )  {
  error = 0.0;
#pragma acc kernels {
#pragma acc loop independent collapse(2)
  for (  int  j = 1; j < n-1;  j++ )  {
    for (  int  i = 1; i < m-1; i++ )  {
       Anew [j] [i] = 0.25 * ( A [j] [i+1] + A [j] [i-1] +
                                      A [j-1] [i] + A [j+1] [i]);
       error = max ( error, fabs (Anew [j] [i] - A [j] [i]));
      }
    }
  } 
}
