Those OpenACC benchmarks are available at https://github.com/pathscale/KernelGen---Performance-Test-Suite/ We recently worked with a researcher who submitted a paper to SC13 that included similar results. We were the fastest on a majority of benchmarks for that paper. (The paper intentionally only included kernel execution times as the research involved a JIT compiler) --------- C++ in the past (even now??) has not been the most used language for our customers or in HPC in general. C++ is growing in HPC popularity and very important to us though. It's not an easy language and addressing the issues Vincent may have run into is probably on our long term roadmap. (We've made a lot of progress with c++ since switching to a clang based fe though and it may be fixed) _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
