My opinion about hottest topics is high performance computing or generally cloud computing

its modern technology and all of u needed to developed it or can adding a new methods of it

personally, i working on cloudcomputing

especially of web operating system

Hi Hisham,

If you already have the serial code and you have already decided that the thesis framework is accelerating this specific code using OpenACC then the "hottest" topics could be "which adaptations of the original code/algorithm can be done to help OpenACC in improving the application's performance" and "how does your proposals work on different GPUs (if you have more than one available), i.e., how general they are".

Of course, a comparison with the corresponding CUDA implementation can also be interesting.

Good luck,

Eduardo
