OpenMP Device Offloading
OpenMP 4.0/4.5 introduced support for heterogeneous systems such as accelerators and GPUs. The purpose of this overview is to demonstrate OpenMP's device constructs used for offloading data and code from a host device (Multicore CPU) to a target's device environment (GPU/Accelerator). We will demonstrate how to manage the device's data environment, parallelism and work-sharing. Review how data is mapped from the host data environment to the device data environment, and attempt to use different compilers that support OpenMP offloading such as LLVM/Clang or GCC.
