Jeff, The Berkeley UPC runtime is quite portable to POSIX-type systems. However, the Tesla taken alone is lacking nearly all the support that a language runtime would require. At present I am not aware of any plans to port a UPC runtime to the Tesla (either in a heterogeneous system such as host node + Tesla or on the Tesla alone). Others on this list might know more. However: + I am not aware of any specific reasons why one could not write UPC code for the host node in which the individual UPC threads utilize the Tesla for offloading computation. + If somebody has ported MPI to the Tesla, it might be possible to run the Berkeley UPC runtime using its support for running over MPI. -Paul Jeff Glickman wrote: > > Are there any plans to support the NVIDIA Tesla CPU/system architecture? > > (http://www.nvidia.com/object/tesla_computing_solutions.html) > > > > Jeff Glickman > > > > > -- Paul H.
