This webinar will continue the exploration of new features in OpenMP 6.0 - this time with a focus on accelerator programming. First, we will review the latest additions in OpenMP 5.x and comment on the implementation status. Then, attendees will learn about all the improvements in managing host and device data environments and synchronizing the control flow between host and devices. We will also review selected additions, such as support for workdistribute in Fortran, or the interface to select and order devices.

Concluding the session, Michael Klemm and Christian Terboven will engage with attendees in a Q&A segment.

The first part of the webinar in December 2024 handled new host-side features and enhancements in OpenMP 6.0.
