Sun Studio does CUDA

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!<--- Click Me!!!!

    Could you point me towards the documentation on this option? A group of us are working on GPU processing for computational models in economics and it’d be a lot of help if you have more information on it.
    Thanks very much

    This sounds great. Could you please tell me more details about it. I tried it to tranform Fortran code to CUDE C by:

    f95 filename -xopenmp=parallel -qoption iropt -Apcg:cuda41

    But, it only does only compile the file. Thanks!

    I am sincerely sorry for any productivity loss. The trick to know the details is to know when this entry was posted or to click the link in the last paragraph.

    The closest thing outside there is the PGI Accelerator. Seriously this time.

    Well, I feel a bit silly. Sorry about that.
