NVIDIA HPC SDK

Introduction

The NVIDIA HPC SDK C, C++, and Fortran compilers support GPU acceleration of HPC modeling and simulation applications with standard C++ and Fortran, OpenACC® directives, and CUDA®. GPU-accelerated math libraries maximize performance on common HPC algorithms, and optimized communications libraries enable standards-based multi-GPU and scalable systems programming. Performance profiling and debugging tools simplify porting and optimization of HPC applications, and containerization tools enable easy deployment on-premises or in the cloud. With support for NVIDIA GPUs and Arm, OpenPOWER, or x86-64 CPUs running Linux, the HPC SDK provides the tools you need to build NVIDIA GPU-accelerated HPC applications. 1

Loading / Using NVHPC

To load the desired version of the module, use the module load command, e.g.

module load hpc-env/8.3
module load NVHPC 

Always remember: this commands are case sensitive!


To find out which the NVIDIA compilers are available with the NVHPC module, you can take a look at the binary folder: ls -la $EBROOTNVHPC/Linux_x86_64/21.9/compilers/bin :
