    PGI X64+GPU FORTRAN & C99 COMPILERS

    Tuesday, June 16, 2009
    2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT/ 18:00 GMT (Duration: 1 hour)


    Until now, C and C++ developers targeting GPU accelerators have had to rely on language extensions to their programs. Use of GPUs from Fortran applications has been extremely limited. x64+GPU programmers have been required to program at a detailed level including a need to understand and specify data usage information and manually construct sequences of calls to manage all movement of data between the x64 host and GPU.

    Learn how the PGI x64+GPU compilers automatically analyze whole program structure, split portions of the application between the x64 CPU and GPU as specified by user directives; and then generate an optimized mapping of loops to automatically use the parallel cores, hardware threading capabilities and SIMD vector capabilities of modern GPUs.

    Also in this webinar learn how these compilers will support user directives that give the programmer fine-grained control over the mapping of loops, allocation of memory, and optimization for the GPU memory hierarchy. The PGI compilers generate unified x64+GPU object files and executables that manage all movement of data to and from the GPU device while leveraging all existing host-side utilities—-linker, librarians, makefiles--and require no changes to the existing standard HPC Linux/x64 programming environment.



    Presenter:
    Michael Wolfe, Compiler Engineer at The Portland Group
    He is PhD in Computer Science from the University of Illinois, and his responsibilities include deep compiler analysis and optimizations. He has published a textbook, "High Performance Compilers for Parallel Computing", and a monograph, "Optimizing Supercompilers for Supercomputers," and many technical papers.

    Technical Web Seminar: Low Current Measurements from nA to fA


    LIVE WEB SEMINAR

    FREE TECHNICAL ONLINE SEMINAR:

    How to get the most from your Low Current Measurement Instruments

    There's no charge for registration, but space is limited, so sign up today!

    Seminar Contents

    This seminar is designed to cover the the basics of low current (from nA to fA) electrical measurements, including how to select the right current measurement instrument, practical ways to reduce current noise in measurement setups, and how to quantify subtle sources of noise. These measurement best practices are important for applications in semiconductor material/device characterization, nanoscience test and measurement, optoelectronic device characterization, and many more. Application examples where such sensitive measurements are required will be discussed, together with a discussion of recent innovative test equipment solutions.

    After attending this seminar, you will understand:

    • Measurement techniques required for measuring very small currents
    • Sources of measurement error that will affect such low current measurements
    • Measurement solutions that can be used in low current measurement applications.

    This informative 45-minute seminar is recommended for students, as well as for professional researchers, engineers, and scientists in areas such as materials science, chemistry, nanoscience, and semiconductor device development who wish to get a better understanding of low current electrical measurements.

    It is accompagnied by an interactive Q&A (during live broadcast only) where you can ask the presenter for additional insight on this important topic.

    Conference structure

    The main conference and exhibition will be held on 30 September and 1 October. The conference will offer an exciting mix of invited speakers and peer-reviewed papers. This year for the first time there will also be an Exhibitor Forum in which exhibiting companies are free to make product-related presentations.

    In common with previous years we will be offering pre-conference workshops on 29 September. This year there will be eight new workshops to choose from.

    We are expecting nearly 100 speakers and have space to accommodate over 50 exhibitors in our spacious new venue at the Frankfurt Messe Congress Centre. Last year's event attracted over 400 attendees from 245 organisations and this year's conference is predicted to be significantly larger.
