Treffer: Towards OmpSs-2 and OpenACC interoperation

The increasing demand in HPC to utilize accelerators has motivated the development of pragma-based directives to target these devices. OmpSs-2 and OpenACC are both directive-based solutions that allow application programmers to utilize accelerators. The two leverage distinct types of parallelism: task parallelism and data parallelism, respectively. Non-trivial scientific applications can benefit from both types of available parallelism. However, the combination of pragma-based models is difficult to coordinate, as both assume full control and are unaware of each other at runtime. We propose an interoperation mechanism to enable novel composability across pragma-based programming models. We study and propose a clear separation of duties and implement our approach by augmenting the OmpSs-2 programming model, compiler and runtime to support OmpSs-2 + OpenACC programming ; Peer Reviewed ; Postprint (author's final draft)
