Hi all,
Im hoping for some options before i go charging along with what I think is best.
I want to port the compute-intensive parts of a legacy FORTRAN code to the GPU (its a partial differentiation based modelling package)
I have some experience with the Portland’s CUDAF / accelerator which I found to be very good in that it was high level/directive based which made life easy for me - particularly important as I know fortran but am a beginner with CUDA etc. The code is too big to translate to other languages and I would like to avoid mixed language compiling if possible.
I saw the stiky on GPU.NET also…
The important things im looking for are:
- I want to use Fortran, I can not learn another language at this time
- Im lazy and would ideally like to use directives (like OpenMP style parallelization)
- Im cheap, I will buy the Portland compiler if this forum advises it as i found it - and forum support - to be very good but its way beyond my budget so am hoping for an alternative.
ANY ADVICE, ALTERNATIVES OR THOUGHTS MOST WELCOME
Thanks
Alastair
