high performance computing on graphics processing units: hgpu.org

The demand for large compute capabilities in scientific computing led to wide use and acceptance of highly-parallel computer architectures during the last decade. This trend is manifested in the TOP500, listing the fastest supercomputer of the world, in which about 40 % of the performance share results from accelerator-based systems. Programming for these architectures in […]

A heterogeneous architecture composed by a host and an accelerator must frequently deal with situations where several independent tasks are available to be offloaded onto the accelerator. These tasks can be generated by concurrent applications executing in the host or, in case the host is a node of a computer cluster, by applications running on […]

This document outlines the key differences between OpenGL ES and the new Vulkan, and why a developer would want to migrate to Vulkan. Vulkan is a new low level graphics API that allows the developer to get very low level with an almost console-like API. This allows for greater control, performance and transparency. This is […]

A microstructure numerical model is an intensive computational problem, for which the simulation time is too long and the simulation scale is too small. To solve these two problems, in this article, we use MPI+CUDA hybrid particle heterogeneous parallel computing to implement the dendrite growth simulation of a PF-LBM phase-field 3D model. Message Passing Interface […]

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the use of convolutional neural network for prediction of the next appropriate move in the Go game. The paper contains description of the crucial Go game rules, neural networks theory, description of implemented programs and final evaluation of the trained neural networks. The programs were implemented with […]

Modern graphics processing units (GPUs) provide high-performance general purpose computation abilities. They have massive parallel architectures that are suitable for executing parallel algorithms and operations. They are also throughput-oriented devices that are optimized to achieve high throughput for stream processing. Designing efficient GPU programs is a notoriously difficult task. The ForSyDe methodology is suitable to […]

Massively-parallel devices of various architectures are being adopted by the newest supercomputers to overcome the actual power constraint in the context of the exascale challenge. This progress leads to an increasing hybridisation of HPC systems and makes the design of computing applications a rather complex problem. Therefore, the software efficiency and portability are of crucial […]

Random program generation – fuzzing – is an effective technique for discovering bugs in compilers but successful fuzzers require extensive development effort for every language supported by the compiler, and often leave parts of the language space untested. We introduce DeepSmith, a novel machine learning approach to accelerating compiler validation through the inference of generative […]

Over the past few years, energy consumption has become the main limiting factor for computing in general. This has led CPU vendors to aggressively promote parallel computing using multiple cores without significantly increasing the thermal design power of the processor. However, achieving maximum performance and energy efficiency from the available resources on the multi-core and […]

Deep neural networks (DNN) have demonstrated effectiveness for various applications such as image processing, video segmentation, and speech recognition. Running state-of-the-art DNNs on current systems mostly relies on either general purpose processors, ASIC designs, or FPGA accelerators, all of which suffer from data movements due to the limited on chip memory and data transfer bandwidth.
