113 Changes from Version 26 to 2
The_OPENACC value was updated to 201811
The specification allows for hosts that share some memory with the device but n ot all memory
The wording in the text now discusses whether local thread data is in share d memory (memory
shared between the local thread and the device) or discrete memory (local thread memory that
is not shared with the device), instead of shared-memory devices and non -shared memory
devices See Sections 13 Memory Model and 26 Data Environment
The text was clarified to allow an implementation that treats a multicore CPU as a devic e,
either an additional device or the only device

3210 acc wait
Summary
Theacc_wait routines wait for completion of all associated asynchronous operations o n a single
specified async queue or on all async queues on the current device o r on a specified device
Format
C or C++:
void acc_wait(int wait_arg);
void acc_wait_device(int wait_arg, int dev_num);
void acc_wait_all(void);
void acc_wait_all_device(int dev_num);
Fortran:
subroutine acc_wait(wait_arg)
subroutine acc_wait_device(wait_arg, dev_num)
subroutine acc_wait_all()
subroutine acc_wait_all_device(dev_num)
integer(acc_handle_kind) :: wait_arg
integer :: dev_num
Description
A call to an acc_wait routine is functionally equivalent to a wait directive as follows, see Sec-
tion 2163:
acc_wait to await(wait_arg) directive
acc_wait_device to await(devnum:dev_num,queues:wait_arg) directive

, the host thread may orchestrate the execution by allocating memory o n the accelerator de-
vice, initiating data transfer, sending the code to the accelerator, passing a rguments to the compute
region, queuing the accelerator code, waiting for completion, transferrin g results back to the host,
and deallocating memory In most cases, the host can queue a sequence o f operations to be executed
on a device, one after the other
Most current accelerators and many multicore CPUs support two or three levels of parallelism
Most accelerators and multicore CPUs support coarse-grain parallelism, which is fully parallel exe-
cution across execution units There may be limited support for synchroniz ation across coarse-grain
parallel operations Many accelerators and some CPUs also support fin e-grain parallelism, often
implemented as multiple threads of execution within a single execution unit, which are typically
rapidly switched on the execution unit to tolerate long latency memory operations Finally, most

d from acc_malloc oracc_deviceptr
The behavior of the acc_memcpy_device routines is:
Ifbytes is zero, no action is taken
Ifdata_dev_dest anddata_dev_src have the same value, no action is taken
If the memory regions referred to by data_dev_dest anddata_dev_src overlap, the
behavior is undefined
If the data referred to by data_dev_src ordata_dev_dest is not accessible by the
current device, the behavior is undefined
Otherwise, bytes bytes of data at data_dev_src in the current device memory are copied
todata_dev_dest in the current device memory
The_async version of this routine will perform the data transfers asynchronously o n the async
queue associated with async_arg The routine may return before the data has been transferred;
see Section 216 Asynchronous Behavior for more details The synchro nous versions will not return
until the data has been completely transferred
Errors
Anacc_error_invalid_null_pointer error is issued if data_dev_dest or

Some accelerators implement a weak memory model In particular, they do not su pport memory
coherence between operations executed by different threads; even on the same execution unit, mem-
ory coherence is only guaranteed when the memory operations are separ ated by an explicit memory
fence Otherwise, if one thread updates a memory location and another rea ds the same location, or
two threads store a value to the same location, the hardware may not guarante e the same result for
each execution While a compiler can detect some potential errors of this natu re, it is nonetheless
possible to write a compute region that produces inconsistent numerical res ults
Similarly, some accelerators implement a weak memory model for memory shared be tween the
host and the accelerator, or memory shared between multiple accelerators Programmers need to
be very careful that the program uses appropriate synchronization to ensure that an assignment or

is allowed only when the num_gangs does not appear on the kernels construct If an argument
with no keyword or an argument after the num keyword appears, it specifies how many gangs to use
to execute the iterations of this loop The region of a loop with the gang clause may not contain
another loop with a gang clause unless within a nested compute region
The scheduling of loop iterations to gangs is not specified unless the static modifier appears as
an argument If the static modifier appears with an integer expression, that expression is used
as a chunk size If the static modifier appears with an asterisk, the implementation will select a
chunk size The iterations are divided into chunks of the selected chunk size, and the chunks are
assigned to gangs starting with gang zero and continuing in round-robin fa shion Two gang loops

When the device pointer target is deallocated, the pointer in device memory sho uld be restored
to the host value, so it can be safely copied back to host memory A detach action updates the
pointer in device memory to have the same value as the corresponding pointer in lo cal memory;
see Section 272 The attach anddetach actions are performed by the copy ,copyin ,copyout ,
create ,attach , anddetach data clauses (Sections 274-2713), and the acc_attach and
acc_detach runtime API routines (Section 3229) The attach anddetach actions use attachment
counters to determine when the pointer in device memory needs to be updated; s ee Section 268
265 Data Construct
Summary
Thedata construct defines vars to be allocated in the current device memory for the duration of
the region, whether data should be copied from local memory to the current device memory upon
region entry, and copied from device memory to local memory upon region ex it
Syntax
In C and C++, the syntax of the OpenACC data construct is
#pragma |
gh environment variables and through calls to OpenACC API r outines The program
can retrieve values through calls to OpenACC API routines
The ICVs are:
acc-current-device-type-var - controls which type of device is used
acc-current-device-num-var - controls which device of the selected type is used
acc-default-async-var - controls which asynchronous queue is used when none appears in an
async clause
231 Modifying and Retrieving ICV Values
The following table shows environment variables or procedures to modify th e values of the internal
control variables, and procedures to retrieve the values:
ICV Ways to modify values Way to retrieve value
acc-current-device-type-var acc_set_device_type acc_get_device_type

ACC_DEVICE_TYPE
acc-current-device-num-var acc_set_device_num acc_get_device_num
set device_num
init device_num
ACC_DEVICE_NUM
acc-default-async-var acc_set_default_async acc_get_default_async
set default_async
The initial values are implementation-defined After initial |
then the original directive is nonconforming
The supported device types are implementation-defined Depending on the imp lementation and the
compiling environment, an implementation may support only a single device type, or may support
multiple device types but only one at a time, or may support multiple device types in a single
compilation
A device architecture name may be generic, such as a vendor, or more spe cific, such as a partic-
ular generation of device; see Appendix A Recommendations for Implementer s for recommended
names When compiling for a particular device, the implementation will use the claus es associated
with thedevice_type clause that specifies the most specific architecture name that applies for
this device; clauses associated with any other device_type clause are ignored In this context,
the asterisk is the least specific architecture name
Syntax
The syntax of the device_type clause is
device_type( *)
device_type( device-type-list )
Thedevice_type clause may be abbreviated to dtype
/triangl |
roperty will return 0 and acc_get_property_string will return a null
pointer (in C or C++) or a blank string (in Fortran) in the following cases:
If device type dev_type is not supported or no device of dev_type is available
If the value of dev_num is not a valid device number for device type dev_type
If the value of property is not one of the known values for that query routine, or that
property has no value for the specified device
327 acc init
Summary
Theacc_init andacc_init_device routines initialize the runtime for the specified device
type and device number This can be used to isolate any initialization cost from the computational
cost, such as when collecting performance statistics
Format
C or C++:
void acc_init(acc_device_t dev_type);
void acc_init_device(int dev_num, acc_device_t dev_type );
Fortran:
subroutine acc_init(dev_type)
subroutine acc_init_device(dev_num, dev_type)
integer :: dev_num
integer(acc_device_kind) :: dev_type
Description
A call toacc_init oracc_init_device is functionally eq |
in the current device memory and not in local memory The host may n ot be able to access
variables in a device_resident clause The accelerator data lifetime of global variables or
common blocks that appear in a device_resident clause is the entire execution of the program
In Fortran, if the variable has the Fortran allocatable attribute, the memory for the variable will
be allocated in and deallocated from the current device memory when the hos t thread executes
anallocate ordeallocate statement for that variable, if the current device is a non-shared
memory device If the variable has the Fortran pointer attribute, it may be allocated or deallocated
by the host in the current device memory, or may appear on the left hand sid e of a pointer assignment
statement, if the right hand side variable itself appears in a device_resident clause
In Fortran, the argument to a device_resident clause may be a common block name enclosed
in slashes; in this case, all declarations of the common block must have a matchin g

arg appears as an actual argument in a procedure call in a compute construc t
or an accelerator routine, and the associated dummy argument subarg also has the optional
attribute, then PRESENT(subarg) returns the same value as PRESENT(subarg) would when
executed on the host
2172 Do Concurrent Construct
This section refers to the Fortran doconcurrent construct that is a form of doconstruct When
doconcurrent appears without a loop construct in a kernels construct it is treated as if it is
annotated with loop auto If it appears in a parallel construct or an accelerator routine then
it is treated as if it is annotated with loop independent
3 Runtime Library
This chapter describes the OpenACC runtime library routines that are availa ble for use by program-
mers Use of these routines may limit portability to systems that do not support the OpenACC API
Conditional compilation using the _OPENACC preprocessor variable may preserve portability
This chapter has two sections:
Runtime library definitions
Runtime libra |
clause behaves as follows:
At entry to a region, the structured reference counter is used On an enterdata directive,
the dynamic reference counter is used
Ifvaris present and is not a null pointer, a present increment action with the appropriate
reference counter is performed
Ifvaris not present, a copyin action with the appropriate reference counter is performed
Ifvaris a pointer reference, an attach action is performed
At exit from the region:
If the structured reference counter for varis zero, no action is taken
Otherwise, a detach action is performed if varis a pointer reference, and a present decrement
action with the structured reference counter is performed if varis not a null pointer If
both structured and dynamic reference counters are zero, a delete action is performed
If the optional readonly modifier appears, then the implementation may assume that the data
referenced by var-list is never written to within the applicable region
The errors in Section 273 Data Clause Errors may be issue |
attributes may appear in a data clause that overrides the imp licit attribute
Variables with explicitly determined data attributes are those which appear in a da ta clause on a
data construct, a compute construct, or a declare directive See Section A33 for recommended
diagnostics related to data attributes
OpenACC supports systems with accelerators that have discrete memory fro m the host, systems
with accelerators that share memory with the host, as well as systems where an accelerator shares
some memory with the host but also has some discrete memory that is not shared w ith the host
In the first case, no data is in shared memory In the second case, all data is in shared memory
In the third case, some data may be in shared memory and some data may be in discr ete memory,
although a single array or aggregate data structure must be allocated comple tely in shared or discrete
memory When a nested OpenACC construct is executed on the device, the d efault target device for
that construct is the same device on wh |

326 acc getproperty
Summary
Theacc_get_property andacc_get_property_string routines return the value of a
device-property for the specified device
Format
C or C++:
size_t acc_get_property(int dev_num,
acc_device_t dev_type,
acc_device_property_t property);
const
char*acc_get_property_string(int dev_num,
acc_device_t dev_type,

integer(acc_device_property_kind), value :: property
integer(c_size_t) :: acc_get_property

different value than specified based on limitations imposed by the target arch itecture
2513 private clause
Theprivate clause is allowed on the parallel andserial constructs; it declares that a copy
of each item on the list will be created for each gang in all dimensions
Restrictions
See Section 2171 Optional Arguments for discussion of Fortran optional a rguments in private
clauses
2514 firstprivate clause
Thefirstprivate clause is allowed on the parallel andserial constructs; it declares that
a copy of each item on the list will be created for each gang, and that the co py will be initialized with
the value of that item on the local thread when a parallel orserial construct is encountered
Restrictions

of the program Calls may appear in the library itself, during the processing o f an event The
OpenACC runtime must allow for this case, where the callback list for an even t is modified while
that event is being processed
Dynamic Registration and Unregistration
Calls toacc_register andacc_unregister may occur at any point in the application A
callback routine can be registered or unregistered from a callback routin e, either the same routine
or another routine, for a different event or the same event for which th e callback was invoked If a
callback routine is registered for an event while that event is being proce ssed, then the new callback
routine will be added to the tail of the list of callback routines for this event So me events (the
_end ) events process the callback routines in reverse order, from the tail to th e head For those
events, adding a new callback routine will not cause the new routine to be inv oked for this instance
of the event The other events process the callbac |

Theifclause is optional; when there is no ifclause, the compiler will generate code to allocate or
deallocate space in the current device memory and move data from and to loca l memory When an
ifclause appears, the program will conditionally allocate or deallocate device memory and move
data to and/or from device memory When the condition in theifclause evaluates to false , no
device memory will be allocated or deallocated, and no data will be moved When thecondition
evaluates to true, the data will be allocated or deallocated and moved as specified

C++ classes permit forward references from member function bodies to o ther members de-
clared later For example, immediately within classA below,g’s scope does not start until

forg’sroutine directive Thus, f’s call togis conforming
class A {
void f() {

g();// conforming
}
#pragma acc routine gang
void g();
};
In some places, C++ classes do not permit forward references For e xample, in the return type
of a member function, a member typedef that is declared later is not in scope L ikewise,g’s
definition below is not fully within the scope of g’sroutine directive even though its body
is, so its definition is nonconforming

device type clause
Thedevice_type clause specifies the type of device that is to be initialized in the runtime If the
device_type clause appears, then the acc-current-device-type-var for the current thread is set to
the argument value If no device_num clause appears then all devices of this type are initialized
device num clause
Thedevice_num clause specifies the device id to be initialized If the device_num clause
appears, then the acc-current-device-num-var for the current thread is set to the argument v |

to each member of the composite variable individually
If a variable is involved in a reduction that spans multiple nested loops where tw o or more of those
loops have associated loop directives, a reduction clause containing that variable must appear
on each of those loop directives
Restrictions
Avarin areduction clause must be a scalar variable name, an aggregate variable name,
an array element, or a subarray (refer to Section 271)
Reduction clauses on nested constructs for the same reduction varmust have the same reduc-
tion operator
Every varin areduction clause appearing on an orphaned loop construct must be private

One worker in each gang begins executing the code in the structured block of the construct Note:
Unless there is a loop construct within the parallel region, all gangs will execute all the code within
the region redundantly
If theasync clause does not appear, there is an implicit barrier at the end of the accele rator parallel
region, and the execution of the local thread will not proceed until all gan gs have reached the end
of the parallel region

Thedata update profiling event names are
acc_ev_enqueue_upload_start
acc_ev_enqueue_upload_end
acc_ev_enqueue_download_start
acc_ev_enqueue_download_end
The_start events are triggered just before each upload (data copy from local memo ry to device
memory) operation is or download (data copy from device memory to local memor y) operation is
enqueued for execution on a device The corresponding _end events are triggered just after each
upload or download operation is enqueued
Note: Measuring the time between the start and end update callbacks is often unlikely to be useful,
since it will only measure the time to manage the enqueue operation, not the time to pe rform the
actual upload or download

Description
Theacc_memcpy_from_device routine copies bytes bytes of data from the device address

3211 acc wait async
Summary
Theacc_wait_async routines enqueue a wait operation on one async queue of the current
device or a specified device for the operations previously enqueued on a single specified async
queue or on all other async queues
Format
C or C++:
void acc_wait_async(int wait_arg, int async_arg);
void acc_wait_device_async(int wait_arg, int async_arg,
int dev_num);
void acc_wait_all_async(int async_arg);
void acc_wait_all_device_async(int async_arg, int dev_n um);
Fortran:
subroutine acc_wait_async(wait_arg, async_arg)
subroutine acc_wait_device_async(wait_arg, async_arg, dev_num)
subroutine acc_wait_all_async(async_arg)
subroutine acc_wait_all_device_async(async_arg, dev_n um)
integer(acc_handle_kind) :: wait_arg, async_arg
integer :: dev_num
Description
A call to an acc_wait_async routine is functionally equivalent to a waitasync(async_arg)
directive as follows, see Section 21 |
dimens ions For instance,
after entering a loop partitioned for gang-level work-sharing at dimensio n 3, the program will be in
GP3, GR2, GR1 mode
When only one worker is active, in any gang-level execution mode, the pr ogram is in worker-single
mode (WS mode) When only one vector lane is active, the program is in vector-single mode
(VS mode) If a gang reaches a loop or loop nest marked for worker-le vel work-sharing, the gang
transitions to worker-partitioned mode (WP mode), which activates all the workers of the gang The
iterations of the loop or loops are partitioned across the workers of this gan g If the same loop is
marked for both gang-partitioning in dimension dand worker-partitioning, then the iterations of the
loop are spread across all the workers of all the gangs of dimension d If a worker reaches a loop
or loop nest marked for vector-level work-sharing, the worker will tra nsition to vector-partitioned
mode (VP mode) Similar to WP mode, the transition to VP mode activates all the vector lanes of |

null pointer
Data Events
For a data event, as noted in the event descriptions, the second argument will be a pointer to the
acc_data_event_info struct
typedef struct acc_data_event_info {
acc_event_t event_type;
int valid_bytes;
acc_construct_t parent_construct;
int implicit;
void*tool_info;
const char *var_name;

const void *device_ptr;
}acc_data_event_info;
The fields specific for a data event are:
acc_event_tevent_type - The event type that triggered this callback The events that
use theacc_data_event_info struct are:

the first nonblank character after the sentinel is an exclamation point, the line is ignored
In Fortran fixed-form source files, OpenACC directives are specifie d as one of

For C/C++, unless otherwise specified, each expression inside of the Op enACC clauses and direc-

If the tool library uses dynamic callback registration and unregistration, or callback disabling and

Any data clause on the compute construct, a lexically containing data
construct, or a visible declare directive
Exposed variable access : Any access to the data or address of a variable at a point within the
compute construct where the variable is not private to a scope lexically enc losed within the
compute construct
Note: In the argument of C’s sizeof operator, the appearance of a variable is not an exposed
access because neither its data nor its address is accessed In the argu ment of areduction
clause on an enclosed loop construct, the appearance of a variable that is not otherwise
privatized is an exposed access to the original variable
On a compute or combined construct, if a variable appears in a reduction clause but no other
data clause, it is treated as if it also appears in a copy clause Otherwise, for any variable, the
compiler will implicitly determine its data attribute on a compute construct if all of the follo wing

When the condition in theifclause evaluates to true, the region will execute on the current device
When the condition in theifclause evaluates to false , the local thread will execute the region

Theself clause is optional
Theself clause may have a single condition-argument If the condition-argument is not present it
is assumed to evaluate to true When both an ifclause and a self clause appear and the condition

When the condition evaluates to true, the region will execute on the local device When the condition

263 Data Regions and Data Lifetimes
Data in shared memory is accessible from the current device as well as to the local thread Such
data is available to the accelerator for the lifetime of the variable Data not in sha red memory must
be copied to and from device memory using data constructs, clauses, and A PI routines A data
lifetime is the duration from when the data is first made available to the accelerator until it becomes
unavailable For data in shared memory, the data lifetime begins when the data is a llocated and
ends when it is deallocated; for statically allocated data, the data lifetime begins w hen the program
begins and does not end For data not in shared memory, the data lifetime beg ins when it is made
present and ends when it is no longer present
There are four types of data regions When the program encounters a data construct, it |
In the
case of combined directives, the outermost construct of the combined con struct should be specified
as theparent_construct If the event was emitted as the result of the application making a
call to the runtime api, the value will be acc_construct_runtime_api

acc_construct_parallel = 0,
acc_construct_serial =

Copyin Action
Acopyin action is one of the actions that may be performed for a copy (Section 276) or copyin

sections for details
Acopyin action for a varoccurs only when varis not already present in device memory
Acopyin action for a var:

copy of the data in var, the attachment counter for the pointer varis incremented Otherwise, the
pointer in device memory is attached to the device copy of the data by initiating an update for the

A call to a procedure with a nohost clause must not appear in a compute construct that is
compiled for the host See examples below
If a call to a procedure with a nohost clause appears in another procedure but outside any
compute construct, that other procedure must also have a nohost clause
A call to a procedure with a gang(dim: d)clause must appear in code that is executed
ingang-redundant mode in all dimensions dand lower For instance, a procedure with a
gang(dim:2) clause may not be called from within a loop that has a gang(dim:1)
or agang(dim:2) clause The user needs to ensure that a call to a procedure with a

Unregistering
A matching call to acc_callback_unregister will remove that routine from the list of call-
back routines for that event

acc_callback_unregister(acc_ev_enqueue_upload_start ,
prof_data, acc_reg);
// prof_data is removed from the callback list
// foracc_ev_enqueue_upload_start
Each entry on the callback list must also have a refcount This keeps track of how many times
this routine was added to this event’s callback list If a routine is registered ntimes, it must be
unregistered ntimes before it is removed from the list Note that if a routine is registered multiple
times for the same event, its refcount will be incremented with each registration, but it will only be
invoked once for each event instance

216 Asynchronous Behavior
This section describes the async clause, thewait clause, thewait directive, and the behavior of
programs that use asynchronous data movement, compute regions, and as ynchronous API routines
In this section and throughout the specification, the term async-argument means a nonnegative
scalar integer expression ( intfor C or C++, integer for Fortran), or one of the special values
acc_async_noval oracc_async_sync , as defined in the C header file and the Fortran
openacc module The special values are negative values, so as not to conflict with a user-specified
nonnegative async-argument An async-argument is used inasync clauses,wait clauses,wait
directives, and as an argument to various runtime routines

291 collapse clause
Thecollapse clause is used to specify how many nested loops are associated with the loop
construct The argument to the collapse clause must be a constant positive integer expression
If nocollapse clause appears, only the immediately following loop is associated with the loop
construct
If more than one loop is associated with the loop construct, the iterations of all the associated loops
are all scheduled according to the rest of the clauses The trip count fo r all loops associated with
thecollapse clause must be computable and invariant in all the loops The particular intege r
type used to compute the trip count for the collapsed loops is implementation define d However, the
integer type used for the trip count has at least the precision of each loop variable of the associated
loops
It is implementation-defined whether a gang ,worker orvector clause on the construct is ap-
plied to each loop, or to the linearized iteration space
The associated loops are the nnested loops that immedia |
tion or automatic offloading, or paralle lizing across
multiple accelerators of the same type, or across multiple accelerators of diffe rent types, these pos-
sibilities are not addressed in this document
12 Execution Model
The execution model targeted by OpenACC API-enabled implementations is hos t-directed execu-
tion with an attached parallel accelerator, such as a GPU, or a multicore host with a host thread that
initiates parallel execution on the multiple cores, thus treating the multicore CPU itself as a device
Much of a user application executes on a host thread Compute intensive r egions are offloaded to an
accelerator or executed on the multiple host cores under control of a hos t thread A device, either
an attached accelerator or the multicore CPU, executes parallel regions , which typically contain
work-sharing loops, kernels regions, which typically contain one or more loops that may be exe-
cuted as kernels, or serial regions, which are blocks of sequential code Even in accelerator-targeted
regions |

264 Data Structures with Pointers
This section describes the behavior of data structures that contain pointer s A pointer may be a
C or C++ pointer (eg, float*), a Fortran pointer or array pointer (eg, real, pointer,
dimension(:) ), or a Fortran allocatable (eg, real,allocatable,dimension(:) )
When a data object is copied to device memory, the values are copied exactly If the data is a data
structure that includes a pointer, or is just a pointer, the pointer value copie d to device memory
will be the host pointer value If the pointer target object is also allocated in o r copied to device
memory, the pointer itself needs to be updated with the device address of the tar get object before
dereferencing the pointer in device memory
Anattach action updates the pointer in device memory to point to the device copy of the data
that the host pointer targets; see Section 272 For Fortran array pointer s and allocatable arrays,
this includes copying any associated descriptor (dope vector) to the devic e copy of |

vector lanes as appropriate
The program starts executing with a single initial host thread, identified by a p rogram counter and
its stack The initial host thread may spawn additional host threads, using O penACC or another
mechanism, such as with the OpenMP API On a device, a single vector lane of a single worker of a
single gang is called a device thread When executing on an accelerator, a parallel execution context
is created on the accelerator and may contain many such threads

2143 Set Directive
Summary
Theset directive provides a means to modify internal control variables using direc tives Each form
of theset directive is functionally equivalent to a matching runtime API routine
Syntax
In C and C++, the syntax of the set directive is:

2151 Routine Directive
Summary
Theroutine directive is used to tell the compiler to compile the definition for a procedure, su ch
as a function or C++ lambda, for an accelerator as well as for the host Th eroutine directive is
also used to tell the compiler the attributes of the procedure when called on the a ccelerator
Syntax
In C and C++, the syntax of the routine directive is:
#pragma acc routine clause-list new-line
#pragma acc routine( name)clause-list new-line
In C and C++, the routine directive without a name may appear immediately before a function
definition, a function prototype, or a C++ lambda and applies to the function or C++ lambda The
routine directive with a name may appear anywhere that a |
ed data attribu tes or otherwise
implicitly by the compiler the implicit field in the event structure will be set to 1
5110 Wait
Thewait profiling event names are
acc_ev_wait_start
acc_ev_wait_end
Anacc_ev_wait_start event will be triggered for each relevant queue before the local threa d
waits for that queue to be empty A acc_ev_wait_end event will be triggered for each relevant
queue after the local thread has determined that the queue is empty
Wait events occur when the local thread and a device synchronize, eithe r due to await directive

and will set the attachment counters to zero for pointers appearing in detach clauses
Errors
See Section 273 for errors due to data clauses
See Sections 2161 and 2162 for errors due to async orwait clauses
267 Reference Counters
When device memory is allocated for data not in shared memory due to data claus es or OpenACC
API routine calls, the OpenACC implementation keeps track of that section of de vice memory and
its relationship to the corresponding data in host memory
Each section of device memory is associated with two reference counters per device, a structured
reference counter and a dynamic reference counter The structured and dynamic reference counters
are used to determine when to allocate o |

the OpenACC runtime shuts down, either bec ause all devices have
been shutdown by calls to the acc_shutdown API routine, or at the end of the program
512 Device Initialization and Shutdown
Thedevice initialization profiling event names are
acc_ev_device_init_start
acc_ev_device_init_end
These events are triggered when a device is being initialized by the OpenACC runtime This may be
when the program starts, or may be later during execution when the progra m reaches an acc_init
call or an OpenACC construct The acc_ev_device_init_start is triggered before device
initialization starts and acc_ev_device_init_end after initialization is complete
Thedevice shutdown profiling event names are
acc_ev_device_shutdown_start
acc_ev_device_shutdown_end
These events are triggered when a device is shut down, most likely by a ca ll to the OpenACC
acc_shutdown API routine The acc_ev_device_shutdown_start is triggered before
the device shutdown process starts and acc_ev_device_shutdown_end after the device shut-

210 Cache Directive
Summary
Thecache directive may appear at the top of (inside of) a loop It specifies array e lements or
subarrays that should be fetched into the highest level of the cache for the body of the loop
Syntax
In C and C++, the syntax of the cache directive is
#pragma acc cache( [readonly: ]var-list)new-line
In Fortran, the syntax of the cache directive is
!$acc cache( [readonly: ]var-list)
Avarin acache directive must be a single array element or a simple subarray In C and C++ ,
a simple subarray is an array name followed by an extended array range s pecification in brackets,
with start and length, such as
arr[ lower:length]
where the lower bound is a constant, loop invariant, or the for loop variable plus or minus a
constant or loop invariant, and the length is a constant
In Fortran, a simple subarray is an array name followed by a comma-separa ted list of range specifi-
catio |
*acc_callback)
(acc_callback_info *,acc_event_info *,acc_api_info *);
The third argument is an enum type:
typedef enum acc_register_t {
acc_reg = 0,
acc_toggle = 1,
acc_toggle_per_thread =
}acc_register_t;
This is usually acc_reg , but see Section 542 Disabling and Enabling Callbacks for cases where
different values are used
An example of registering callbacks for launch, upload, and download ev ents is:
acc_callback_register(acc_ev_enqueue_launch_start,
prof_launch, acc_reg);
acc_callback_register(acc_ev_enqueue_upload_start,
prof_data, acc_reg);
acc_callback_register(acc_ev_enqueue_download_start ,
prof_data, acc_reg);
As shown in this example, the same routine ( prof_data ) can be registered for multiple events
The routine can use the event_type field in the acc_callback_info structure to determine
for what event it was invoked
The names acc_prof_register andacc_prof_unregister are preserved for backward
compatibility with previous versions of OpenACC
531 Library Registration
The OpenACC runtime will invoke |
hen
executing accelerator regions The value of this environment variable mus t be a nonnegative integer
between zero and the number of devices of the desired type attached to the h ost If the value is
greater than or equal to the number of devices attached, the behavior is imple mentation-defined
Example:
setenv ACC_DEVICE_NUM
export ACC_DEVICE_NUM=
43 ACC PROFLIB
TheACC_PROFLIB environment variable specifies the profiling library More details about the
evaluation at runtime is given in section 533 Runtime Dynamic Library Loading
Example:
setenv ACC_PROFLIB /path/to/proflib/libaccprofso
export ACC_PROFLIB=/path/to/proflib/libaccprofso
5 Profiling and Error Callback Interface
This chapter describes the OpenACC interface for runtime callback routine s These routines may be
provided by the programmer or by a tool or library developer Calls to these routines are triggered
during the application execution at specific OpenACC events There are tw o classes of events,
profiling events and error events Profiling events can |

loop with a gang clause associated with dimension dor less
worker clause
Theworker clause specifies that the procedure contains, may contain, or may call ano ther pro-
cedure that contains a loop with a worker clause, but does not contain nor does it call another
procedure that contains a loop with the gang clause A loop in this procedure with an auto clause
may be selected by the compiler to execute in worker orvector mode A call to this procedure
must appear in code that is executed in worker-single mode, though it may be in gang-redundant
organg-partitioned mode For instance, a procedure with a routineworker directive may be
called from within a loop that has the gang clause, but not from within a loop that has the worker
clause
vector clause
Thevector clause specifies that the procedure contains, may contain, or may call ano ther pro-
cedure that contains a loop with the vector clause, but does not contain nor does it call another

on before starting to execute other gangs T his means that trying
to implement synchronization between gangs is likely to fail In particular, a bar rier across gangs
cannot be implemented in a portable fashion, since all gangs may not ever be active at the same time
Similarly, the execution model allows for an implementation that executes some work ers within a
gang or vector lanes within a worker to completion before starting other work ers or vector lanes,
or for some workers or vector lanes to be suspended until other worker s or vector lanes complete
This means that trying to implement synchronization across workers or vecto r lanes is likely to fail
In particular, implementing a barrier or critical section across workers or v ector lanes using atomic
operations and a busy-wait loop may never succeed, since the schedule r may suspend the worker or
vector lane that owns the lock, and the worker or vector lane waiting on the lo ck can never complete
Some devices, such as a multicore CPU, may also create and |
ype – a derived type in Fortran, or a struct orunion type in C, or a class ,
struct , orunion type in C++ (This is different from the use of the term composite data type in
the C and C++ languages)
Composite variable – a variable of composite datatype In Fortran, a composite variable must not
have allocatable or pointer attributes
Compute construct – aparallel construct ,serial construct , orkernels construct
Compute intensity – for a given loop, region, or program unit, the ratio of the number of arith metic
operations performed on computed data divided by the number of memory tran sfers required to
move that data between two levels of a memory hierarchy
Compute region – aparallel region ,serial region , orkernels region
Construct – a directive and the associated statement, loop, or structured block, if any

ive-name
For C and C++, new-line means the newline character at the end of a line:
#pragma acc directive-name new-line
Optional syntax is enclosed in square brackets; an option that may be repe ated more than once is
followed by ellipses:
#pragma acc directive-name [clause [[,]clause ] ] new-line
In this spec, a var(in italics) is one of the following:
a variable name (a scalar, array, or composite variable name);
a subarray specification with subscript ranges;
an array element;
a member of a composite variable;
a common block name between slashes
Not all options are allowed in all clauses; the allowable options are clarified f or each use of the term
var Unnamed common blocks (blank commons) are not permitted and common blocks o f the same
name must be of the same size in all scoping units as required by the Fortran sta ndard

separated list of pqritems For example, an int-expr-list is a comma-separated lis |
ion defines the number of workers within each gang that will be active after
a gang transitions from worker-single mode to worker-partitioned mode If the clause does not
appear, an implementation-defined default will be used; the default value ma y be 1, and may be
different for each parallel construct or for each kernel created for a kernels construct The
implementation may use a different value than specified based on limitations imposed by the target
architecture
2512 vector length clause
Thevector_length clause is allowed on the parallel andkernels constructs The value
of the integer expression defines the number of vector lanes that will be ac tive after a worker transi-
tions from vector-single mode to vector-partitioned mode This clause determin es the vector length
to use for vector or SIMD operations If the clause does not appear, a n implementation-defined
default will be used This vector length will be used for loop constructs an notated with the vector
clause, as well as loops automatically vectorized |

513 Enter Data and Exit Data
Theenter data profiling event names are
acc_ev_enter_data_start
acc_ev_enter_data_end
These events are triggered at enterdata directives, entry to data constructs, and entry to implicit
data regions such as those generated by compute constructs The acc_ev_enter_data_start
event is triggered before any data allocation ,data update , orwait events that are associated with
that directive or region entry, and the acc_ev_enter_data_end is triggered after those events
Theexit data profiling event names are
acc_ev_exit_data_start
acc_ev_exit_data_end
These events are triggered at exit data directives, exit from data constructs, and exit from
implicit data regions The acc_ev_exit_data_start event is triggered before any data
deallocation ,data update , or wait events associated with that directive or region exit, and the
acc_ev_exit_data_end event is triggered after those events
When the construct that triggers an enter data orexit data event was generated implicitly by the
compiler the i |

Format
C or C++:
d_void*acc_copyin(h_void *data_arg, size_t bytes);
d_void*acc_create(h_void *data_arg, size_t bytes);
void acc_copyin_async(h_void *data_arg, size_t bytes,
int async_arg);
void acc_create_async(h_void *data_arg, size_t bytes,
int async_arg);
Fortran:
subroutine acc_copyin(data_arg [, bytes ])
subroutine acc_create(data_arg [, bytes ])
subroutine acc_copyin_async(data_arg [, bytes ], async_arg)
subroutine acc_create_async(data_arg [, bytes ], async_arg)
type(*), dimension() :: data_arg
integer :: bytes
integer(acc_handle_kind) :: async_arg
Description
A call to an acc_copyin oracc_create routine is similar to an enterdata directive with
acopyin orcreate clause, respectively, as described in Sections 277 and 279, except th at
noattach action is performed for a pointer reference In C/C++, data_arg is a pointer to the
data, andbytes specifies the data size in bytes; the associated data section starts at the address

}acc_api_info;
The fields are described below:
acc_device_api device_api - The API in use for this device The data type is the
enumeration acc_device_api , which is described later in this section
intvalid_bytes - The number of valid bytes in this struct See the discussion above in
Section 521 First Argument: General Information
acc_device_tdevice_type - The device type; the datatype is acc_device_t , de-

mine the value used by that vendor’s runtime
constvoid *device_handle - If applicable, this will be a pointer to the API-specific
device information
constvoid *context_handle - If applicable, this will be a pointer to the API-specific
context information
const void *async_handle - If applicable, this will be a pointer to the API-specific
async queue information
According to the value of device_api a library can cast the pointers of the field |
loops, and the element loops will all be
inside the tileloops
If thevector clause appears on the loop construct, the vector clause is applied to the element
loops If the gang clause appears on the loop construct, the gang clause is applied to the tile
loops If the worker clause appears on the loop construct, the worker clause is applied to the
element loops if no vector clause appears, and to the tileloops otherwise
299 device type clause
Thedevice_type clause is described in Section 24 Device-Specific Clauses
2910 private clause
Theprivate clause on a loop construct specifies that a copy of each item in var-list will be
created If the body of the loop is executed in vector-partitioned mode, a copy of the item is created
for each thread associated with each vector lane If the body of the loop is executed in worker-
partitioned vector-single mode, a copy of the item is created for each worker and shared across th e
set of threads associated with all the vector lanes of that worker Otherw ise, a copy of the item |
plementa tion of this
tools interface must also be thread-safe All threads use the same set of c allbacks for all events, so
registering a callback from one thread will cause all threads to execute tha t callback This means that
managing the callback lists for each event must be protected from multiple simultan eous updates
This includes adding a callback to the tail of the callback list for an event, remo ving a callback from
the list for an event, and incrementing or decrementing the refcount for a callback routine for an
event
In addition, one thread may register, unregister, enable, or disable a callb ack for an event while
another thread is processing the callback list for that event asynchron ously The exact behavior may
be dependent on the implementation, but some behaviors are expected and o thers are disallowed
In the following examples, there are three callbacks, A, B, and C, register ed for event E in that
order, where callbacks A and B are enabled and callback C is temporarily d isabled Thread T1 |
routine returns the value of acc-default-async-var for the cur-
rent thread
Format
C or C++:
int acc_get_default_async(void);
Fortran:
function acc_get_default_async()
integer(acc_handle_kind) :: acc_get_default_async
Description
Theacc_get_default_async routine returns the value of acc-default-async-var for the cur-
rent thread, which is the asynchronous queue used when an async clause appears without an
async-argument or with the value acc_async_noval
3214 acc setdefault async
Summary
Theacc_set_default_async routine tells the runtime which asynchronous queue to use
when anasync clause appears with no queue argument
Format
C or C++:
void acc_set_default_async(int async_arg);
Fortran:
subroutine acc_set_default_async(async_arg)
integer(acc_handle_kind) :: async_arg
Description
A call toacc_set_default_async is functionally equivalent to a setdefault_async(async_arg)
directive, as described in Section 2143 This acc_set_default_async routine tells the
runtime to place any directives with an async clause tha |
_arg is a null pointer and

Anacc_error_not_present error is issued if the data section is not in shared memory
and is not present in the current device memory
Anacc_error_invalid_data_section error is issued if data_arg is an array sec-
tion that is not contiguous (in Fortran)
Anacc_error_partly_present error is issued if part of the data section is already
present in the current device memory but all of the data section is not
Anacc_error_invalid_async error is issued if async_arg is not a valid async-
argument value
See Section 522
3220 acc update device and acc update self
Summary
Theacc_update_device andacc_update_self routines test to see if the argument is in
shared memory; if not, the argument must be present in the current device memory, and the routines
update the data in device memory from the corresponding local memory ( acc_update_device )
or update the data in local memory from the corresponding device memory ( acc_update_self )
Format
C or C++:
void acc_update_device(h_void |
ointer varto one If the pointer is a null pointer, the pointer in device memory is updated to
have the same value The update may complete asynchronously, depending on other clauses on the
directive The implementation schedules pointer updates after any data copie s due to copyin actions
that are performed for the same directive
Detach Action
Adetach action is one of the actions that may be performed for a present (Section 275),
copy (Section 276), copyin (Section 277), copyout (Section 278), create (Section 279),
no_create (Section 2710), delete (Section 2711), or detach (Section 2711) clause, or
for a call to an acc_detach API routine (Section 3229) See those sections for details
Adetach action for a varoccurs only when varis a pointer reference
If the pointer varis in shared memory or is not present in the current device memory, or if the
attachment counter forvarfor the pointer is zero, no action is taken Otherwise, the attachment
counter for the pointer varis decremented If the attachment counter is decre |
down, which effectively s ets structured and dynamic
reference counters to zero
Format
C or C++:
void acc_shutdown(acc_device_t dev_type);
void acc_shutdown_device(int dev_num, acc_device_t dev_ type);
Fortran:
subroutine acc_shutdown(dev_type)
subroutine acc_shutdown_device(dev_num, dev_type)
integer :: dev_num
integer(acc_device_kind) :: dev_type
Description
A call toacc_shutdown oracc_shutdown_device is functionally equivalent to a shutdown
directive, with matching dev_type anddev_num arguments, as described in Section 2142
dev_type must be one of the defined accelerator types dev_num must be a valid device number
of the device type dev_type acc_shutdown routine disconnects the program from all devices
of device type dev_type Theacc_shutdown_device routine disconnects the program from
dev_num of typedev_type Any data that is present in the memory of a device that is shut down
is immediately deallocated
Restrictions

be used by tools f or profile or trace data
collection Currently, this interface does not support tools that employ asy nchronous sampling
Error events can be used to release resources or cleanly shut down a large parallel application when
the OpenACC runtime detects an error condition from which it cannot recov er This is specifically
for error handling, not for error recovery There is no support p rovided for restarting or retrying
an OpenACC program, construct, or API routine after an error condition has been detected and an
error callback routine has been called
In this chapter, the term runtime refers to the OpenACC runtime library The term library refers to
the routines invoked at specified events by the OpenACC runtime
There are three steps for interfacing a library to the runtime The first step is to write the library
callback routines Section 51 Events describes the supported runtime even ts and the order in which
callbacks to the callback routines will occur Section 52 Callbacks Signature describes th |

3228 acc memcpy device
Summary
Theacc_memcpy_device routine copies data from one memory location to another memory
location on the current device
Format
C or C++:
void acc_memcpy_device(d_void *data_dev_dest,
d_void*data_dev_src, size_t bytes);
void acc_memcpy_device_async(d_void *data_dev_dest,
d_void*data_dev_src, size_t bytes,
int async_arg);
Fortran:
subroutine acc_memcpy_device(data_dev_dest,
data_dev_src, bytes);
subroutine acc_memcpy_device_async(data_dev_dest,
data_dev_src, bytes,
async_arg);
type(c_ptr), value :: data_dev_dest
type(c_ptr), value :: data_dev_src
integer(c_size_t), value :: bytes
integer(acc_handle_kind), value :: async_arg
Description
Theacc_memcpy_device routine copies bytes bytes of data from the device address in
data_dev_src to the device address in data_dev_dest Both addresses must be addresses in
the current device memory, such as would be returne |

truct A kernels region is a structured block
which is compiled for the accelerator The code in the kernels region will be d ivided by the compiler
into a sequence of kernels; typically each loop nest will become a single ker nel A kernels region
may require space in device memory to be allocated and data to be copied from lo cal memory to
device memory upon region entry, and data to be copied from device memory to local memory and
space in device memory to be deallocated upon exit
Level of parallelism – a possible level of parallelism, which in OpenACC is gang, worker, vector ,
or sequential One or more of gang, worker, and vector parallelism may ap pear on a loop con-
struct Sequential execution corresponds to no parallelism The gang ,worker ,vector , and
seq clauses specify the level of parallelism for a loop
Local device – the device where the local thread executes
Local memory – the memory associated with the local thread
Local thread – the host thread or the accelerator thread that executes an OpenACC d |
tine will get resolved by the dynamic loader
535 Application-Controlled Initialization
An alternative to default initialization is to have the application itself call the library initialization
routine, which then calls acc_callback_register for each appropriate event The library
may be statically linked to the application or your application may dynamically load the lib rary
The sequence of events is:
1 Your application calls the library initialization routine
2 The library initialization routine calls acc_callback_register for each event to be
monitored
3acc_callback_register records the callback routines
4 The program runs, and your callback routines are invoked at the ap propriate events
In this mode, multiple tools libraries can be supported, with each library initialization routine in-
voked by the application

Syntax
In C and C++, the syntax of the OpenACC kernels construct is
#pragma acc kernels [clause-list ]new-line
structured block
and in Fortran, the syntax is
!$acc kernels [clause-list ]
structured block
!$acc end kernels
or
!$acc kernels [clause-list ]
block construct
[!$acc end kernels ]
where clause is one of the following:
async [(int-expr)]
wait [(int-expr-list )]
num_gangs( int-expr)
num_workers( int-expr)
vector_length( int-expr)
device_type( device-type-list )

Description
The compiler will split the code in the kernels region into a sequence of accele rator kernels Typi-

it will launch the sequence of kernels in order on the device The nu |

datainfo = (acc_data_event_info *)eventinfo;

Multiple Callbacks
Multiple callback routines can be registered on the same event:
acc_callback_register(acc_ev_enqueue_upload_start,
prof_data, acc_reg);
acc_callback_register(acc_ev_enqueue_upload_start,
prof_up, acc_reg);
For most events, the callbacks will be invoked in the order in which they are r egistered However,
endevents, named acc_ev__end , invoke callbacks in the reverse order Essentially, each
event has an ordered list of callback routines A new callback routine is a ppended to the tail of the
list for that event For most events, that list is traversed from the head to th e tail, but for endevents,
the list is traversed from the tail to the head
If a callback is registered, then later unregistered, then later still registere d again, the second regis-
tration is considered to be a new callback, and the callback routine will then be ap |
for the
current thread to tell the program what type of device will be used to run th e next compute region, if
one has been selected The device type may have been selected by the pro gram with a runtime API
call or a directive, by an environment variable, or by the default behav ior of the implementation; see
the table in Section 231
Restrictions
If the device type has not yet been selected, the value acc_device_none may be returned
324 acc setdevice num
Summary
Theacc_set_device_num routine tells the runtime which device to use and sets the value of
acc-current-device-num-var
Format
C or C++:
void acc_set_device_num(int dev_num, acc_device_t dev_t ype);
Fortran:
subroutine acc_set_device_num(dev_num, dev_type)
integer :: dev_num
integer(acc_device_kind) :: dev_type
Description
A call toacc_set_device_num is functionally equivalent to a setdevice_type(dev_type)
device_num(dev_num) directive, as described in Section 2143 This routine tells the runtime
which device to use among those available of the given |
grams, which can pass arguments b y name See
Section 32
Replaced composite variable by aggregate variable in reduction ,default , andprivate
clauses and in implicitly determined data attributes; the new wording also includes F ortran
character and allocatable/pointer variables See glossary in Section 6
116 Changes from Version 31 to 3
Updated_OPENACC value to202111
Modified specification to comply with INCITS standard for inclusive terminolog y
The text was changed to state that certain runtime errors, when detected, r esult in a call to the
current runtime error callback routines See Section 15
An ambiguity issue with the C/C++ comma operator was resolved See Section 16
The terms true andfalse were defined and used throughout to shorten the descriptions See
Section 16
Implicitly determined data attributes on compute constructs were clarified See Se ction 262
Clarified that the default(none) clause applies to scalar variables See Section 262
Theasync ,wait , anddevice_type clauses may be specified on dat |
ment for varwill deallocate memory from both local memory as well
as the current device memory, for a non-shared memory device, and the d ynamic reference
counter will be set to zero If the structured reference counter is not z ero, a runtime error is
issued
In Fortran, if a variable varinvar-list has the Fortran pointer attribute, then it may appear on the
left hand side of a pointer assignment statement, if the right hand side variab le itself appears in a
create clause
Errors
In Fortran, an acc_error_present error is issued at a deallocate statement if the struc-
tured reference counter is not zero
See Section 522
2133 link clause
Thelink clause is used for large global host static data that is referenced within an accelerator
routine and that should have a dynamic data lifetime on the device The link clause specifies that
only a global link for the named variables should be statically created in accele rator memory The
host data structure remains statically allocated and globally available The dev ice dat |
creates a
data region
When the program encounters a compute construct with explicit data clause s or with implicit data
allocation added by the compiler, it creates a data region that has a duration o f the compute construct
When the program enters a procedure, it creates an implicit data region tha t has a duration of the
procedure That is, the implicit data region is created when the procedure is called, and exited when
the program returns from that procedure invocation There is also an imp licit data region associated
with the execution of the program itself The implicit program data region has a duration of the
execution of the program
In addition to data regions, a program may create and delete data on the acce lerator using enter
data andexit data directives or using runtime API routines When the program executes
anenter data directive, or executes a call to a runtime API acc_copyin oracc_create
routine, each varon the directive or the variable on the runtime API argument list will be made live

reats auto asseq, the gangs redundantly compute
arr’s maximum, but the combined result is still arr’s maximum Either way, because xis
not private at the loop directive, the reduction updates xby the end of the parallel region
int x = 0;
const int *arr =/*array of I values */;
#pragma acc parallel copy(x)
{
// gang-shared x undefined
#pragma acc loop auto gang reduction(max:x)
for (int i = 0; i < I; ++i) {
// complex loop body
x = x < arr[i] ? arr[i] : x; // gang- or loop-private
// x modified
}
// gang-shared x undefined
}// gang-shared x updated for gang or gang/seq reduction
// x = arr maximum
The following example is the same as the previous one except that the reductio n operator is
now+ While gang-partitioned mode sums the elements of arr once, gang-redundant mode
sums them once per gang, producing a result many times arr’s sum This example shows
that, for some reduction operators, combining auto ,gang , andreduction is typically
non-portable
int x = 0;
const int *arr =/*array of I values */;

stem issues
The default error callback routine may print an error message and halt p rogram execution The ap-
plication can register one or more additional error callback routines, to allow a failing application to
release resources or to cleanly shut down a large parallel runtime with many threads and processes
See Chapter 5 Profiling and Error Callback Interface The error callba ck mechanism is not intended
for error recovery There is no support for restarting or retrying a n OpenACC program, construct, or
API routine after an error condition has been detected and an error callb ack routine has been called

274 deviceptr clause
Thedeviceptr clause may appear on structured data and compute constructs and declare
directives
Thedeviceptr clause is used to declare that the pointers in var-list are device pointers, so the
data need not be allocated or moved between the host and device for this po inter
In C and C++, the vars invar-list must be pointer variables
In Fortran, the vars invar-list must be dummy arguments (arrays or scalars), and may not have the
Fortranpointer ,allocatable , orvalue attributes
For data in shared memory, host pointers are the same as device pointers, s o this clause has no
effect
275 present clause
Thepresent clause may appear on structured data and compute constructs and declare di-
rectives The present clause specifies that vars invar-list are in shared memory or are already
present in the current device memory due to data regions or data lifetimes that contain the construct
on which the present clause appears
For each varinvar-list , ifvaris in shared memory, no action is taken; if |
