The recent introduction of large language models (LLMs) has revolutionized the field of robotics by enabling contextual reasoning and intuitive human-robot interaction in domains as varied as manipulation, locomotion, and self-driving vehicles. When viewed as a stand-alone technology, LLMs are known to be vulnerable to jailbreaking attacks, wherein malicious prompters elicit harmful text by bypassing […]

As scientific codes are ported between GPU platforms, continuous testing is required to ensure numerical robustness and identify numerical differences. Compiler-induced numerical differences occur when a program is compiled and run on different GPUs, and the numerical outcomes are different for the same input. We present a study of compiler-induced numerical differences between NVIDIA and […]

Energy consumption has become a critical design metric and a limiting factor in the development of future computing architectures, from small wearable devices to large-scale leadership computing facilities. The predominant methods in energy management optimization are focused on CPUs. However, GPUs are increasingly significant and account for the majority of energy consumption in heterogeneous high […]

The rapid growth in machine learning models, especially in natural language processing and computer vision, has led to challenges when running these models on hardware with limited resources. This paper introduces Superpipeline, a new framework designed to optimize the execution of large AI models on constrained hardware during both training and inference. Our approach involves […]

In drug discovery, molecular docking aims at characterizing the binding of a drug-like molecule to a macromolecule. AutoDock-GPU, a state-of-the-art docking software, estimates the geometrical conformation of a docked ligand-protein complex by minimizing a scoring function. Our profiling results indicate that the current reduction operation that is heavily used in the scoring function is sub-optimal. […]

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. The purpose of such a DSL is to simplify implementation of geospatial operators on the GPU, in order to increase productivity and performance. An embedded […]

In recent years, the need for high-performance computing solutions has increased due to the growing complexity of computational tasks.
