For this example we will use a code from the [https://github.com/calculquebec/cq-formation-openacc repositories]. Download the package and change to the '''cpp''' or '''f90''' directory. The point of this exercise is to compile&link the code, obtain executable, and then profile them. | |||

As of May 2016, compiler support for OpenACC is still relatively scarce. Being pushed by [http://www.nvidia.com/content/global/global.php NVidia], through its [http://www.pgroup.com/ Portland Group] division, as well as by [http://www.cray.com/ Cray], these two lines of compilers offer the most advanced OpenACC support. [https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/OpenACC GNU Compiler] support for OpenACC exists, but is considered experimental in version 5. It is expected to be officially supported in version 6 of the compiler. | |||
For the purpose of this tutorial, we use version 16.3 of the Portland Group compilers. We note that [http://www.pgroup.com/support/download_pgi2016.php?view=current Portland Group compilers] are free for academic usage. | |||
