Cuda Fortran with AMD GPUs

Accelerated Computing HPC Compilers Legacy PGI Compilers

Anyone have some experience using AMD GPUs for CUDA Fortran codes? I am developing my code in Windows and the code is strictly CUDA Fortran, not OpenACC.

I have always used NVIDIA cards, but since the GTX 700 series is almost impossible to get, I was thinking that one of the R9s could be a good option. I just dont have the budget for the fancy Tesla products.

Any experience and/or suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you,

Kirk

Hi Kirk,

CUDA both C and Fortran are only available on NVIDIA devices. If your code is mostly single precision, the Maxwell based cards such as the GTX980 are a good choice.

Though, the Tesla line is really the best choice for scientific computing but I understand that these cards are expensive.
