What is PGI accelerator?

PGI compilers automatically analyze whole program structure and data, split portions of the application between the host CPU and the accelerator device as specified by a standard set of user directives, and define and generate an optimized mapping of loops to automatically use the parallel cores, hardware threading …

Which parallel programming models are currently supported by the PGI compilers& tools?

How do OpenACC directives work?

OpenACC uses a host-driven execution model that is the CPU ‘drives’ the execution of your code and controls how the GPU is used. The CPU is often known as the host, and the GPU as the device.

When did Nvidia buy PGI?
