NERSC taps NVIDIA compiler team for Perlmutter Supercomputer
NERSC has signed a contract with NVIDIA to enhance GPU compiler capabilities for Berkeley Lab's next-generation Perlmutter supercomputer. "We are excited to work with NVIDIA to enable OpenMP GPU computing using their PGI compilers," said Nick Wright, the Perlmutter chief architect. "Many NERSC users are already successfully using the OpenMP API to target the manycore architecture of the NERSC Cori supercomputer. This project provides a continuation of our support of OpenMP and offers an attractive method to use the GPUs in the Perlmutter supercomputer. We are confident that our investment in OpenMP will help NERSC users meet their application performance portability goals."
