Deep Learning Automatic Hyperparameter Tuning plays a crucial role in advancing Artificial Intelligence applications, eliminating the need for complex expertise and costly manual operations. Ray Tune, developed by the University of California, Berkeley, has gained widespread adoption among notable companies like Amazon and Uber. In contrast to large enterprises, the hardware commonly used by the […]

In this thesis we show the benefits of the novel MLIR compiler technology to the generation of code from a DSL, namely EasyML used in openCARP, a widely used simulator in the cardiac electrophysiology community. Building on an existing work we deeply modified openCARP’s native code generator to enable efficient vectorized CPU and GPU code […]

This book presents a comprehensive exploration of GPGPU (General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit) and its applications in deep learning and machine learning. It focuses on how parallel computing, particularly through the use of CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture), can unlock unprecedented computational power for complex tasks. The book provides detailed discussions on CPU and GPU […]

GPUs are progressively being integrated into modern society, playing a pivotal role in Artificial Intelligence and High-Performance Computing. Programmers need a deep understanding of the GPU programming model to avoid subtle data-races in their codes. Static verification that is sound and incomplete can guarantee data-race freedom, but the alarms it raises may be spurious and […]

This thesis explores how a domain-specific language (DSL) for simple geospatial operators on the GPU can be developed, and evaluates the level of functionality and performance of such a DSL.
