关于支持OPenACC的编译器说明

支持OpenACC的编译器：PGI, Cray, CAPS 和 GCC。下面是 gcc 对 OpenACC 支持的介绍。

All – GCC 6.1 was released withimproved OpenACC support – see below for key OpenACC highlights.  

PGI is still NVIDIA’s go-tocompiler for OpenACC.

GCC 6.1’s improved supportfor OpenACC is an important step in making the standard pervasive.

Noteworthy as well, GCC 6.1C++ default is now C++14 (-std=gnu++14 instead of -std=gnu++98)

GCC 6.1 OpenACC highlights

·           GCC 6.1 wasreleased 04/27 with improved support for OpenACC:

o    Standard supported: OpenACC 2.0a

o    Compilers: C, C++ and Fortran

o    Accelerators: NVIDIA GPUs

o    Hosts:

§  x86

§  Power8 support is broken in GCC 6.1 – though a functional March snapshot isavailable from Mentor Graphics

·           OpenACC 2.0asupport status in GCC 6.1:

o   Read the cautions and capabilities statedhere: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/changes.html

o   Recommend using parallel constructs ifpossible:

§  Additionally,specify explicitly number of gangs, workers, and vector length clauses forbetter performance

o   Avoid kernels constructs as there are performance andfunctionality limitations

·           How to get GCC 6.1?

o   As of end of April 2016, GCC 6.1 is not yetadopted in new Linux distributions

o   Fedora 24 (ETA June 2016) will adopt GCC6.1 as a default compiler, it is anticipated (not POR) that Ubuntu 16.10 willadopt GCC 6.1 or later version

o   GCC 6.1 may be built from source (see https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Offloading)         

·         GCC OpenMP 4.5status:

o    The OpenMP 4.5 specification is fullysupported in GCC 6.1 for the C and C++ compilers

§  thecompiler can be configured for OpenMP offloading to Intel XeonPhi KnightsLanding and AMD HSAIL

§  Supportfor NVPTX is under development in the gomp-nvptx branch, not supported in GCC6.1.

o    GCC can now generate HSAIL (Heterogeneous System Architecture IntermediateLanguage) for simple OpenMP device constructs

·          OpenACCsupport beyond GCC 6.1 – future work for GCC 7:

o   Performance improvements

·       ImproveGCC's parallelization of inner loops

·       Defaultbehavior of number of gangs, workers and vector length for parallel constructs

o   OpenACC 2.5 support
