About
In this seminar we will present our methodology of unleashing the potential of GPU computing in legacy Fortran codes: to what degree the source code has to be modified to become usable on GPUs, how to turn single-threaded Fortran code into multi-threaded ensemble, how to pack all code into single GPU kernel to minimize synchronization stalls, how to map small loops onto parallel threads with custom directives and LLVM/NVVM, how to retain the preferred Fortran formatted outputs and other questions. The seminar is intended to introduce scientific code developers into techniques beyond the standard CUDA/OpenCL/OpenACC programming methodology, conserve the existing codebase and achieve high GPU utilization.
