Programming GPUs with Fortran

Video Description

GPUs with NVIDIA CUDA architecture are usually programmed using the C language, but NVIDIA also provides a method of programming GPUS with Fortran. NVIDIA CUDA Fortran is distributed for free as part of NVIDIA HPC SDK (Software Development Kit) and is a set of extensions which permit CUDA calls inside Fortran. This seminar, aimed at Fortran programmers, will provide an introduction to GPU programming in Fortran, showing how to convert existing Fortran codes to use GPU acceleration. ________________________________________­_________ This webinar was presented by Pawel Pomorski (SHARCNET) on January 13, 2021, as a part of a series of regular biweekly General Interest webinars ran by SHARCNET.
