OpenACC for Programmers [PDF ebook] 
Concepts and Strategies

The Complete Guide to Open ACC for Massively Parallel Programming Scientists and technical professionals can use Open ACC to leverage the immense power of modern GPUs without the complexity traditionally associated with programming them. Open ACC(TM) for Programmers is one of the first comprehensive and practical overviews of Open ACC for massively parallel programming. This book integrates contributions from 19 leading parallel-programming experts from academia, public research organizations, and industry. The authors and editors explain each key concept behind Open ACC, demonstrate how to use essential Open ACC development tools, and thoroughly explore each Open ACC feature set. Throughout, you’ll find realistic examples, hands-on exercises, and case studies showcasing the efficient use of Open ACC language constructs. You’ll discover how Open ACC’s language constructs can be translated to maximize application performance, and how its standard interface can target multiple platforms via widely used programming languages. Each chapter builds on what you’ve already learned, helping you build practical mastery one step at a time, whether you’re a GPU programmer, scientist, engineer, or student. All example code and exercise solutions are available for download at Git Hub.
