However, most real-world programming problems are far more complex than the provided code snippets and examples. Accelerating an existing application is often a bewildering and complex tradeoff of application performance, maintainability, and portability. Furthermore, in a professional programming environment developer time is a finite resource that must be taken into consideration.
This chapter introduces a set of best programming practices OpenACC developers should follow to achieve the best possible performance without ...
