In the context of the EPEEC project, a research team from the Barcelona Supercomputer Center (BSC) has developed in close collaboration with a team from INESC-ID a new programming tool that significantly eases the development of programs running on multi-GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) systems. By simply adding OpenACC directives, tasks are dynamically assigned to different GPUs by the BSC’s runtime system, while minimizing data transfers between devices.
