We investigate the problem of exact set similarity joins using a co-process CPU-GPU scheme. The state-of-the-art CPU solutions split the wok in two main phases. First, filtering and index building takes place to reduce the candidate sets to be compared as much as possible; then the pairs are compared to verify whether they should become […]

This paper proposes an efficient neural network (NN) architecture design methodology called Chameleon that honors given resource constraints. Instead of developing new building blocks or using computationally-intensive reinforcement learning algorithms, our approach leverages existing efficient network building blocks and focuses on exploiting hardware traits and adapting computation resources to fit target latency and/or energy constraints. […]

IWOCL is the annual gathering of international community of OpenCL, SYCL and SPIR developers, researchers, suppliers and members of the Khronos Working Groups to share best practise, and to promote the evolution and advancement of the standard. The meeting is open to anyone who is interested in contributing to and participating in the community and […]

This will be the 3rd DHPCC++ event in partnership with IWOCL, the international OpenCL workshop with a focus on heterogeneous programming models for C and C++, covering all the programming models that have been designed to support heterogeneous programming in C and C++. Many C++ programming models exist including SYCL, HPX, KoKKos, Raja, C++AMP, HCC, […]

This paper introduces wav2letter++, the fastest open-source deep learning speech recognition framework. wav2letter++ is written entirely in C++, and uses the ArrayFire tensor library for maximum efficiency. Here we explain the architecture and design of the wav2letter++ system and compare it to other major open-source speech recognition systems. In some cases wav2letter++ is more than […]

Over the past two decades, High-Performance Computing (HPC) communities have developed many models for delivering education aiming to help students understand and harness the power of parallel and distributed computing. Most of these courses either lack a hands-on component or heavily focus on theoretical characterization behind complex algorithms. To bridge the gap between application and […]

Simulation has become pervasive in science. Real experimentation remains an essential step in scientific research, but simulation replaced a wide range of costly and lengthy or even dangerous experimentation. It however requires massive computation power, and scientists will always welcome bigger and faster computation platforms, to be able to keep simulating more and more accurately […]

We use OpenMP directives to target hardware accelerators (GPUs) on Summit, a newly deployed supercomputer at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), demonstrating simplified access to GPU devices for users of our astrophysics code GenASiS and useful speedup on a sample fluid dynamics problem. At a lower level, we use the capabilities of Fortran […]

The main goal in many fields in empirical sciences is to discover causal relationships among a set of variables from observational data. PC algorithm is one of the promising solutions to learn the underlying causal structure by performing a number of conditional independence tests. In this paper, we propose a novel GPU-based parallel algorithm, called […]

The ever-increasing computational demand from workload mix of concurrent applications characterizes modern embedded systems. In response to such a trend, many-core accelerators are becoming more popular in high-end embedded systems. However, embedded systems usually have many constraints compared to general purpose computers. Various constraints such as low computing powers, lack of operating system and restriction […]

Stereo matching is one of the first steps in the process of calculating 3D information from two 2D images. To triangulate a 3D point from two corresponding 2D features, the displacement in pixels, or the so-called disparity, must be estimated. From the estimated per-pixel disparity, using a projective camera model, 3D data for large portions […]

Nuclear fusion is a phenomenon in which the nucleuses of hydrogen crash between them, causing helium atoms. The resulting nucleus is heavier than the hydrogen nucleuses, but is lighter than the addition of the masses of the nucleuses involved in the process. This phenomenon releases huge amounts of energy. The research group i2a2 develops the […]
