How To Install gcc-offload-nvptx on CentOS 8
gcc-offload-nvptx is Offloading compiler to NVPTX
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install gcc-offload-nvptx on CentOS 8.
What is gcc-offload-nvptx
The gcc-offload-nvptx package provides offloading support for NVidia PTX. OpenMP and OpenACC programs linked with -fopenmp will by default add PTX code into the binaries, which can be offloaded to NVidia PTX capable devices if available.
We can use yum or dnf to install gcc-offload-nvptx on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install gcc-offload-nvptx.
