Learn about the new features being added to OpenACC in the upcoming 2.5 version, and the new data management features being designed for the subsequent version. OpenACC is the popular directive-based API for GPU and accelerator programming, first released in 2011, supported by the Cray and PGI commercial products, and being implemented by numerous open-source compilers. The latest OpenACC release includes several simplifications and exposes some new behavior that programmers should be aware of. This presentation will also discuss the continuing work on deep data structure management features being designed for the subsequent release.
Poet, author and filmmaker Michael Wolfe shares personal stories from his journeys to the Arabian Peninsula. A critically acclaimed filmmaker, Wolfe hosted an inside account of the hajj (pilgrimage) for Ted Koppel’s “Nightline” on ABC during Wolfe’s pilgrimage to Mecca in 1997.
