Sun Studio does CUDA

April 1st, 2009

By now, you know that the Sun Studio Express 3/09 has this early access feature that does OpenMP 3.0 profiling.

Do you know that it also does OpenMP to CUDA transformation? To try it, simply use “-qoption iropt -Apcg:cuda41” when you compile your OpenMP program. It will generate a C source program that can be compiled and run on NVIDIA CUDA platform. The input can be any C, C++ or Fortran OpenMP program. Isn’t it cool? Currently it runs only on Linux though.

Happy hacking!
