OpenACC Cozies Up To C, C++, and Fortran Standards
Not so long ago, there was a question whether exascale supercomputers would be built from a very large number of thin nodes containing only modest amounts of parallelism or a smaller number of fat nodes powered by specialized accelerators and powerful manycore processors. …

The Confluence Of HPC And AI Flows Through The GPU
Nvidia co-founder and chief executive officer, Jensen Huang, would be the first one to tell you that the graphics chip maker was an unintended innovator in supercomputing, that what the engineers who created the first Nvidia GPUs were really trying to do was enable 3D video games. …
