Exploring Fortran Intrinsic Parallelism for GPU Programming
ChEESE proudly hosted a webinar on the fusion of Fortran’s intrinsic parallelism with GPU programming. Guided by Giorgio Amati, this session illuminated the path for scientists and engineers to elevate their computational projects, marrying the robustness of Fortran with the dynamic capabilities of GPUs. Here’s a brief overview of our session held on June 13, 2023, now accessible for all on YouTube.
ChEESE hosted a webinar on June 13, 2023, focused on the integration of Fortran’s intrinsic parallelism with GPU programming. The session, led by Giorgio Amati, shed light on the untapped potential of combining traditional computing languages with modern hardware capabilities.
Fortran and GPU: A Synergistic Approach
Fortran, a stalwart in the realm of programming languages, is renowned for its efficiency in scientific computations. Its built-in parallelism features make it a prime candidate for GPU programming, offering a pathway to significantly enhance computational efficiency. The webinar aimed to demystify the process of porting Fortran code to GPUs, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges inherent in such an endeavor.
For those unable to attend or wishing to revisit the discussions, we are pleased to announce that the webinar is now available on YouTube. This resource provides a valuable opportunity for continued learning and exploration of the synergies between Fortran programming and GPU technology.
