Xavier Teruel 's talk

OmpSs demos at Supercomputing 2017

Venue: Colorado Convention Center. Denver, COLORADO. Event date: Speaker(s): Xavier Teruel

Two short demos at the exhibition center showing the basic concepts of the OmpSs programming model. See you in the BSC booth (#1975).

  • Tuesday: November 14th, 11:00 am at BSC booth
  • Thursday: November 16th, 11:00 am at BSC booth

OmpSs is completely developed at BSC and we use it as a forerunner for OpenMP. Like OpenMP, it is based on compiler directives. It is the base platform where we have developed OpenMP tasking, support for dependences, priorities, task reductions, and it also includes support for heterogeneous devices.

We will introduce the OmpSs fundamentals related to task-based parallelism for the SMP cores and then quickly move to the support for heterogeneous devices. OmpSs allows to leverage existing OpenCL and CUDA kernels without the burden to have to deal with data copies to/from the devices. Data copies are just triggered automatically by the OmpSs runtime, based on the task dependence annotations.

News & Events

OpenMP F2F 2018-2

A good week in Bordeaux, France focused on closing different open topics in the specification and many of those who have been discussed during past weeks have been shaping up and they are in good condition to go through the committee’s votes.

 OpenMP tasking at ISC 2018

An advanced tutorial using the tasking model of the OpenMP standard. This course includes recent addition of OpenMP 4.5, being all the lecturers part of the OpenMP language committee.

 INTERTWinE F2F 2018

Last Face to Face meeting before the end of the project and we have report the work progress for the different work packages and several technical sessions in a one-and-a-half-day meeting in Stockholm, Sweden.

 PATC (May, 2017)

The tutorial will motivate the audience on the need for portable, efficient programming models that put less pressure on program developers while still getting good performance for clusters and clusters with GPUs.

 OpenMP F2F 2018-1

We have done a very good progress towards the future of the OpenMP 5.0 specification. We have discussed many issues and voted several tickets that finally have already been included in the specification (or will do in the short term).
