Introduction

This is a repo used to save tests to check the use of OpenMP with GPU offloading. Since I had a new computing environment, 1st i checked it running CUDA examples, then I tested OpenMP examples for the host, and finally I tested OpenMP offloading (target omp keyword).

GPU monitors

Use them to 'see' the examples running.

• nsight-sys: for GPU
• stacer; for CPU

Used compilers

• cuda examples: NVCC v10.2
• openmp_host and openmp_gpu: Using clang 10, available in Ubuntu 18.04;

More information about the Clang compiler setup for GPU offloading is present in the dir openmp_gpu.

Dir contents

• cuda examples: example used to test the cuda environment install. Gencode adapted to sm_30 (Quadro K4000). Check the makefiles for 'SMS' to replace Gencode for other GPUs.
• openmp_host: examples used to test the openmp environment install. Using multithread capability;
• openmp_gpu: examples used to test OpenMP with GPUs (target keyword).

References to build these tests
