OPENACC DIRECTIVES FOR POPULAR RADIATION TRANSPORT CODE YIELD FAVORABLE RESULTS
Jan. 17, 2018
Chandrasekaran collaborates with a team at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to optimize miniapps, smaller pieces of large applications that can be extracted and fine-tuned to run on GPU architectures. Chandrasekaran and her PhD student, Robert Searles, have taken on the task of porting (adapting) one such miniapp, Minisweep, to OpenACC—a directive-based programming model that allows users to run a code on multiple computing platforms without having to change or rewrite it.
