• Vulkan Support Survey across Systems
• OSF article link (easier to read)

It's not uncommon to see beautiful visualizations in HPC center galleries, but the majority of these are either rendered off the HPC or created using programs that run on OpenGL or custom rasterization techniques. To put it simply the next generation of graphics provided by OpenGL's successor Vulkan is strangely absent in the super computing world. The aim of this survey of available resources is to determine the systems that can support Vulkan workflows and programs. This will assist users in getting past some of the first hurdles in using Vulkan in HPC contexts.

• C Programming Notes

"These notes are part of the UW Experimental College course on Introductory C Programming. They are based on notes prepared (beginning in Spring, 1995) to supplement the book The C Programming Language, by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, or K&R as the book and its authors are affectionately known. (The second edition was published in 1988 by Prentice-Hall, ISBN 0-13-110362-8.) These notes are now (as of Winter, 1995-6) intended to be stand-alone, although the sections are still cross-referenced to those of K&R, for the reader who wants to pursue a more in-depth exposition." C is a low-level programming language that provides a deep understanding of how a computer's memory and hardware work. This knowledge can be valuable when optimizing apps for performance or when dealing with resource-constrained environments.C is often used as the foundation for creating cross-platform libraries and frameworks. Learning C can allow you to develop libraries that can be used across different platforms, including iOS, Android, and desktop environments.

• A “Hands-on” Introduction to OpenMP*

Open Multi-Processing, is an API designed to simplify the integration of parallelism in software development, particularly for applications running on multi-core processors and shared-memory systems. It is an important resource as it goes over what openMP and ways to work with it. It is especially important because it provides a straightforward way to express parallelism in code through pragma directives, making it easier to create parallel regions, parallelize loops, and define critical sections. The key benefit of OpenMP lies in its ease of use, automatic thread management, and portability across various compilers and platforms. For app development, especially in the context of mobile or desktop applications, OpenMP can enhance performance by leveraging the capabilities of modern multi-core processors. By parallelizing computationally intensive tasks, such as image processing, data analysis, or simulations, apps can run faster and more efficiently, providing a smoother user experience and taking full advantage of the available hardware resources. OpenMP's scalability allows apps to adapt to different hardware configurations, making it a valuable tool for developers aiming to optimize their software for a range of devices and platforms.
