Between Cuda Fortran, OpenAcc, and OpenMP, this argument is more than weak.
- Rochus 4y agoIn that light the following statement of the article is really strange: "While Fortran will probably run acceptably on future CPU technologies, it will likely perform poorly with GPUs because of the lack of robust Fortran compilers, the report said, noting that the ecosystem of tools is “significantly lacking in Fortran." Or is NVIDIA's Fortran version not robust?
- angry_octet 4y agoIntel and Portland compilers are excellent, nVidia having some home ground advantage in optimising. If I needed to run CUDA from Fortran it would be very straightforward. Fortran is better at arrays than C++ and most other languages, which makes it better on GPUs too.
