Compilers: Quick Overview

The SDK provides a number of compilers. Choose depending on your language and programming model:

Compiler

Description

Supports

nvc

C11 compiler for NVIDIA GPUs and AMD, Intel, OpenPOWER, and Arm CPUs. It invokes the C compiler, assembler, and linker for the target processors with options derived from its command line arguments.

...

  • ISO C11

  • GPU programming with OpenACC

...

  • Multicore CPU programming with OpenACC and OpenMP.

nvc++

...

C++17 compiler for NVIDIA GPUs and Intel CPUs. It invokes the C++ compiler, assembler, and linker for the target processors with options derived from its command line arguments.

...

  • ISO C++17

  • GPU programming with C++17 parallel algorithms (pSTL) and OpenACC

...

  • Multicore CPU programming with OpenACC and OpenMP.

nvfortran

...

Fortran compiler for NVIDIA GPUs and Intel CPUs. It invokes the Fortran compiler, assembler, and linker for the target processors with options derived from its command line arguments.

...

  • ISO Fortran 2003 and many features of ISO Fortran 2008

  • GPU programming with CUDA Fortran and OpenACC

...

  • Multicore CPU programming with OpenACC and OpenMP.

nvcc

...

CUDA C and CUDA C++ compiler driver for NVIDIA GPUs. nvcc accepts a range of conventional compiler options, such as for defining macros and include/library paths, and for steering the compilation process.

...

nvcc produces optimized code for NVIDIA GPUs and drives a supported host compiler for

Version 22.7, CUDA and GPUs:

Has been installed and uses CUDA 11.7 by default.

If you specifically need to use CUDA then load this module using:

Code Block
module load cuda/11.7.1

and when creating an interactive session (salloc) or submitting a batch script (sbatch) then remember to request a GPU resource and use srun when running any executables. Further information of requesting GPUs on teton can be found here.

Version 20.7, CUDA and GPUs:

Has been installed and uses CUDA 10.1 by default.

If you specifically need to use CUDA then load this module using:

Code Block
module load cuda/10.1.243

and when creating an interactive session (salloc) or submitting a batch script (sbatch) then remember to request a GPU resource and use srun when running any executables. Further information for requesting GPUs on teton can be found here.
