5x in 5 Hours: Porting a 3D Elastic Wave Simulator to GPUs Using OpenACC

This step-by-step guide shows how we achieved a 5x speed-up of the SEISMIC_CPML application in just 5 hours by porting it to run on GPUs using OpenACC directives. The article describes the basic steps involved, some optimization tips, identifies several potential pitfalls, and most of all, demonstrate how you can apply the OpenACC directives to your own code.

Using PGDBG to Debug Programs on Remote Systems
