Overview

ode-openacc is intended to be a self-contained set of Fortran source code implementing basic first-order ordinary differential equation (ODE) integration accelerated with OpenACC. This allows for easy experimentation and testing of ideas, which can inform development of production codes like Maestro. It can also be useful as a so-called mini-app to be used for the verification of compilers implementing the OpenACC standard.

Requirements

The code is developed mostly on Fedora Linux machines and using PGI compilers, so should work in similar environments. If you have problems with the code, please file an issue describing the issue. We will also consider pull requests fixing issues or adding functionality.

A basic example

First, clone the repo. At a command prompt, execute

git clone https://github.com/adam-m-jcbs/ode-openacc.git

Now build an executable. The simplest example is in first-order.

cd ode-openacc/first-order
make

By default, this will build a version of the code that runs in serial on the CPU using PGI compilers, giving results like

./test_react.pgf95_local.exe 
            0
   6.4935629937149325E-002   0.5000000000000000        0.4350643700628506     
 runtime:     11.69168210029602       seconds

To build with OpenACC, do

make ACC=t
./test_react.pgf95_local.acc.exe

Hopefully by examining this example and the relevant source/make infrastructure, you can get a feel for the code and how to modify it for your purposes.
