Limited Time Offer - $199 The OpenACC Application Program Interface describes a collection of compiler directives to specify loops and regions of code in standard C, C++ and Fortran to be offloaded from a host CPU to an attached accelerator, providing portability across operating systems, host CPUs and accelerators. http://www.openacc-standard.org/ The OpenACC compiler is a subset of the HMPP Workbench tool suite.
With OpenACC compiler and Absoft Pro Fortran, you can compile Fortran code annotated with OpenACC CUDA directives, and build CUDA enabled code. Compilation and building of the final object file is handled automatically. Using this package developers are responsible for inserting OpenACC CUDA directives themselves, but all OpenACC directives are supported. Code developed with this package is also compatible with HMPP. This is a limited time opportunity. Additional details available here or contact sales@absoft.com
