GPU Computing (OpenMP)

This video discusses the SAXPY via OpenMP GPU offloading. OpenMP 4.0 and later enables developers to program GPUs in C/C++ and Fortran by means of OpenMP directives. In this tutorial we present the basic OpenMP syntax for GPU offloading and give a step-by-step guide for implementing SAXPY with it.
