Does OpenACC support Mac Pro

Accelerated Computing HPC Compilers Legacy PGI Compilers

Dear Sir,
Does OpenACC support Mac pro? Mac Pro has AMD firePro D500. We installed PGI Accelerator OS compiler and run a sample code, tried -ta=radeom, it seemed compiler error. How can I do?

Hi Telsalady,

You can find which Radeon’s we support here: PGI Compilers with OpenACC | PGI

As for the D500, if it has then same “Tahiti”, “Caperverde”, or “Spectre” microarchitecture then you should be fine. Though, I can’t find information about which architecture the D500 is. What is the output from the “pgaccelinfo” utility?

Also, what’s the compile error you’re seeing? Note that the flag is “-ta=radeon”, not “radeom”. Also, the default is to target “Tahiti” devices. Please use the appropriate target if different.

I have run Open ACC just fine on a 2013 Mac Pro with Firepro D700 GPUs under Bootcamp and Windows. Question, are the Radeon GPUs now supported under Mac OS? I would much prefer running under Mac OS.

Thanks

Hi Horowitz.charles,

Question, are the Radeon GPUs now supported under Mac OS?

In the original post I missed that this was MAC and focused on the device. The answer to your question is, no, we don’t support Radeon on MacOSX. Apologies for the confusion.
