There is growing interest in accelerating irregular data-parallel algorithms on GPUs. These algorithms are typically blocking, so they require fair scheduling. But GPU programming models (e.g. OpenCL) do not mandate fair scheduling, and GPU schedulers are unfair in practice. Current approaches avoid this issue by exploiting scheduling quirks of today’s GPUs in a manner that […]

Recently, field-programmable gate array (FPGA) vendors (such as Altera) have started to address the programmability issues of FPGAs via OpenCL SDKs. In this paper, we analyze the performance of relational database applications on FPGAs using OpenCL. In particular, we study how to improve the performance of data partitioning, which is a very important building block […]

Knights Landing (KNL) is the code name for the second-generation Intel Xeon Phi product family. KNL has generated significant interest in the data analysis and machine learning communities because its new many-core architecture targets both of these workloads. The KNL many-core vector processor design enables it to exploit much higher levels of parallelism. At the […]

Accelerator architectures specialize in executing SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) in lockstep. Because the majority of CUDA applications are parallelized loops, control flow information can provide an in-depth characterization of a kernel. CUDAflow is a tool that statically separates CUDA binaries into basic block regions and dynamically measures instruction and basic block frequencies. CUDAflow captures […]

Deep learning applications are computation-intensive and often employ GPU as the underlying computing devices. Deep learning frameworks provide powerful programming interfaces, but the gap between source codes and practical GPU operations make it difficult to analyze the performance of deep learning applications. In this paper, through examing the features of GPU traces and deep learning […]

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are very important to studyphysical properties of the atoms and molecules. However, a huge amount of processing time is required to simulate a few nano-seconds of an actual experiment. Although the hardware accelerationusing FPGAs provides promising results, huge design time and hardware design skills are required to implement an accelerator successfully. […]

Despite the popularity of the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) for general purpose computing, one should not forget about the practicality of the GPU for fast scientific visualisation. As astronomers have increasing access to three dimensional (3D) data from instruments and facilities like integral field units and radio interferometers, visualisation techniques such as volume rendering offer […]

Estimation of surface curvature from range data is important for a range of tasks in computer vision and robotics, object segmentation, object recognition and robotic grasping estimation. This work presents a fast method of robustly computing accurate metric principal curvature values from noisy point clouds which was implemented on GPU. In contrast to existing readily […]
