In order to enable their use in scientific application codes without undue loss of programmer productivity, several recent efforts have been devoted to providing directive-based programming interfaces. These APIs promise application portability and a means to avoid low-level accelerator-specific programming. Many application developers prefer incremental ways to port codes to accelerator using directives without adding more complexity to their code. This workshop explores the use of these directive sets their implementations and experiences with their deployment in HPC applications. The workshop aims at bringing together the user and tools community to share their knowledge and experiences of using directives to program accelerators. http://openacc.org/waccpd14 SUMMARY:WACCPD: First Workshop on Accelerator Programming using Directives PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
