In this deck from FOSDEM'19, Thomas Schwinge presents: Speeding up Programs with OpenACC in GCC.
"Proven in production use for decades, GCC (the GNU Compiler Collection) offers C, C++, Fortran, and other compilers for a multitude of target systems. Over the last few years, we -- formerly known as "CodeSourcery", now a group in "Mentor, a Siemens Business" -- added support for the directive-based OpenACC programming model. Requiring only few changes to your existing source code, OpenACC allows for easy parallelization and code offloading to accelerators such as GPUs. We will present a short introduction of GCC and OpenACC, implementation status, examples, and performance results.
OpenACC is a user-driven directive-based performance-portable parallel programming model designed for scientists and engineers interested in porting their codes to a wide-variety of heterogeneous HPC hardware platforms and architectures with significantly less programming effort than required with a low-level model."

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

OPENACC ANNOUNCES NEW PRESIDENT
As we ready future systems to support science in the exascale era, I
am extremely excited about the science that will emerge. Important to
the story is the development of a performance-portable programming
tool chain for scientific computing. This includes the evolution of
language extensions and frameworks; maturation of accelerated
compiler directives such as OpenACC; and the emergence and
adoption of library abstractions.

After last year’s major specification update, 3.0, the technical
committee took some time to give OpenACC compilers a chance
to catch up to the current specification before adding other major
features. The development work for OpenACC 3.1 focused
primarily on clean-up and clarifications for the specification with
only a few new user-facing features, including support for Fortran
BLOCK and DO CONCURRENT constructs, support for C++
range-based FOR loops, and improved compatibility between
implementations by specifying argument names in API routines.
UPDATED SPECIFICATION: OPENACC 3.1

REGISTER TO ATTEND
Stencil operations are used widely in HPC applications and pose an
optimization challenge on both CPUs and GPUs. On GPUs, fine-
tuned optimizations can be formulated using low-level APIs such as
CUDA, but many large established codes prefer a portable, higher-
level API such as OpenACC. Although OpenACC lacks the fine-
tuning of CUDA, it does allow for some tuning through a variety of
parallelization constructs and loop directives. Attend this webinar as
Ronald M. Caplan of Predictive Science Inc. (PSI) discusses
various OpenACC directive options to optimize the computationally
heaviest stencil operation within the production solar physics
research code Magnetohydrodynamics Around a Sphere (MAS).

Paper: GPU Acceleration of the FINE/FR CFD
Solver in a Heterogeneous Environment with
OpenACC Directives
X.M. Shine Zhai, David Gutzwiller, Kunal Puri and
Charles Hirsch
OpenACC has been highly successful in adapting legacy CPUonly
applications for modern heterogeneous computing environments equipped
with GPUs, as demonstrated by many projects as well as our previous
experience. In this work, OpenACC is leveraged to transform another
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) high order solver FINE/FR to be
GPU-eligible. On the Summit supercomputer, impressive GPU speedup
ranging from 6X to 80X has been achieved using up to 12,288 GPUs.
Techniques critical to achieving good speedup include aggressive
reduction of data transfers between CPUs and GPUs, and optimizations
targeted at improving exposed parallelism to GPUs. We have
demonstrated that OpenACC offers an efficient, portable and
easilymaintainable approach to achieve fast turnaround time for high-
fidelity industrial simulations.

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have garnered significant
interest in research on high-performance computing because their
computation and communication capabilities have drastically improved in
recent years due to advances in semiconductor integration technologies
that rely on Moore's Law. These improvements reveal the possibility of
implementing a concept to enable on-the-fly offloading computation at
which CPUs/GPUs perform poorly to FPGAs while performing low-latency
data movement. We think that this concept is key to improving the
performance of heterogeneous supercomputers using accelerators such
as the GPU. In this paper, we propose a GPU-FPGA-accelerated
simulation based on the concept and show preliminary results of the
proposed concept.
