An array of techniques used to analyze this OpenACC kernel and optimize its performance are shown, including the use of hierarchical Roofline performance model and the performance tool Nsight Compute. This kernel exhibits computational characteristics that are commonly seen in many high-performance computing (HPC) applications, and are expected to be very helpful to a general audience of HPC developers and computational scientists, as they pursue more performance on NVIDIA GPUs.
