PGI Fortran/C/C++ OpenMP/MPI compilers and tools for HPC offer an ideal solution for multi-core x64+GPU software development and optimization on Linux, MacOS and Windows. At SC09 PGI will demonstrate PGI Accelerator compilers for migration of HPC applications to heterogeneous manycore x64+GPU platforms, MPI/OpenMP debugging and profiling on Linux and Windows clusters, and MSMPI debugging within Microsoft Visual Studio.

• PGI Compilers for Heterogeneous Many-Core HPC Systems


• For the past decade, the top HPC systems were massively parallel clusters of commodity processors; current and future HPC systems increase performance and strong scaling by adding one or more highly parallel accelerators to each multicore node. We present PGI's roadmap to address the programming challenges for such systems. PGI Accelerator Fortran and C99 compilers offer a proven method to program host+accelerator (such as x64+GPU) platforms, using techniques employed by classical vectorizing and OpenMP compilers. Automatic compiler analysis, assisted and augmented by directives, enables users to generate efficient accelerator code without resorting to new languages or rewriting in new C++ class libraries. Compiler feedback allows the programmer to drive the optimization process and tune performance incrementally. These same techniques can be used to program massively multicore CPUs, supporting high degrees of parallelism, preserving portability across a wide range of system architectures, and increasing programmer productivity on heterogeneous manycore systems.
