Advantages
- moderate/good performance for C, C++ and Fortran code
- OpenACC is implemented (extension for simple usage of accelearators like GPUs)
- GPU computing supported (e.g. CUDA)
- Fortran extension coarray implemented
Disadvantages
- slow compilation
- not free
- newest standards may missing
- OpenACC not a common standard
PGI Accelerator Suite addons
Within the PGI Accelerator Suite several tools and libraries for debugging, profiling and analyzing of program code are included:
- ACML (AMD Core Math Library)
- OpenMP/MPI debugger pgdbg
- OpenMP/MPI profiler pgprof
- MPICH
