NVIDIA HPC SDK GPU-Optimized Image

The NVIDIA HPC SDK is a comprehensive suite of compilers, libraries and tools essential to maximizing developer productivity and the performance and portability of HPC applications.

The NVIDIA HPC SDK C, C++, and Fortran compilers support GPU acceleration of HPC modeling and simulation applications with standard C++ and Fortran, OpenACC directives, and CUDA. GPU-accelerated math libraries maximize performance on common HPC algorithms, and optimized communications libraries enable standards-based multi-GPU and scalable systems programming. Performance profiling and debugging tools simplify porting and optimization of HPC applications, and containerization tools enable easy deployment on-premises or in the cloud.

Key features of the NVIDIA HPC SDK for Linux include:

- Support for NVIDIA Ampere Architecture GPUs with FP16, TF32 and FP64 tensor cores
- NVC++ ISO C++17 compiler with Parallel Algorithms acceleration on GPUs, OpenACC and OpenMP
- NVFORTRAN ISO Fortran 2003 compiler with array intrinsics acceleration on GPUs, CUDA Fortran, OpenACC and OpenMP
- NVC ISO C11 compiler with OpenACC and OpenMP
- NVCC NVIDIA CUDA C++ compiler
- NVIDIA Math Libraries including cuBLAS, cuSOLVER, cuSPARSE, cuFFT, cuTENSOR and cuRAND
- Thrust, CUB, and libcu++ GPU-accelerated libraries of C++ parallel algorithms and data structures
- NCCL, NVSHMEM and Open MPI libraries for fast multi-GPU/multi-node communications
- NVIDIA Nsight Systems/Compute for interactive HPC applications performance profiler
