AMD AOMP 23.0-0 was released as the latest build of this LLVM/Clang downstream that continues to carry the very latest AMD patches focused on delivering the best support for GPU offloading to Radeon/Instinct hardware with the likes of the OpenMP and OpenACC APIs. AOMP continues to serve as a great leading-edge compiler for the best AMD GPU offloading experience until the patches ultimately work their way into upstream LLVM.

JUPITER  supercomputer at Julich

JUPITER at Forschungszentrum Jülich has become the first supercomputer in Europe to reach the milestone of 1 ExaFLOP/s – equivalent to one quintillion, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 computing operations per second. At the same time, JUPITER ranks as the fourth-fastest supercomputer in the world and the most energy-efficient system in the Exascale class, according to the TOP500 list of the world’s fastest supercomputers presented today at the Supercomputing Conference (SC25) in St. Louis.

The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is pleased to present an OpenACC GPU programming workshop.

OpenACC is the accepted standard using compiler directives to allow quick development of GPU-capable codes using standard languages and compilers. It has been used with great success to accelerate real applications within very short development periods. This workshop assumes knowledge of either C or Fortran programming. It will have a hands-on component using the Bridges-2 computing platform at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.

Sunita Chandrasekaran

Sunita Chandrasekaran, User Group Chair of the OpenACC Organization and Professor at University of Delaware, is leading the charge on the high-tech frontier, fearless in the face of complexity. 

She led an international team that stress-tested the world’s first exascale computer, capable of performing a staggering quintillion calculations per second. Now, she’s exploring the intersection of AI and the high-performance computing (HPC) that powers it — all while preparing her students to thrive at top technology and business firms.
