An announcement from Nvidia made at the most recent SC11 conference apparently got lost in a wave of supercomputing announcements. However, it's a pretty significant change in Nvidia's strategy on how to approach multi-core computing in the future and worth a note. Together with Cray, PGI and CAPS, Nvidia announced a new parallel programming standard called OpenACC. OpenACC has been published as API that includes a range of compiler directives which describe code additions for C, C++ and Fortran to take advantage of accelerators to speed up code processing in highly data parallel environments.
