high performance computing on graphics processing units: hgpu.org

Recent advances in the speed and programmability of consumer level graphics hardware has sparked a flurry of research that goes beyond the realm of image synthesis and computer graphics. We examine the use of the GPU (graphics processing unit) as a tool for scientific computing, by analyzing techniques for performing large matrix multiplies in GPU hardware. An earlier method for multiplying matrices on the GPU su#ered from problems of memory bandwidth. This paper examines more e#cient…
