March 16, 2018 — NVIDIA has announced the availability of PGI 2018. PGI compilers and tools are used by scientists and engineers who develop applications for high-performance computing (HPC) systems. They deliver world-class multicore CPU performance, an easy on-ramp to GPU computing with OpenACC directives, and performance portability across all major HPC platforms.
New Features in 2018:
- Support for Intel Skylake, IBM POWER9 and AMD Zen
- AVX-512 code generation on compatible Intel processors
- Full OpenACC 2.6 directives-based parallel programming on both Tesla GPUs and multicore CPUs
- OpenMP 4.5 for x86-64 and OpenPOWER multicore CPUs
- Integrated CUDA 9.1 toolkit and libraries for Tesla GPUs including V100 Volta
- Partial C++17 support and GCC 7.2 interoperability
- New PGI fastmath intrinsics library including AVX-512 support
