OpenCL is an open standard for parallel programming of heterogeneous compute devices, such as GPUs, CPUs, DSPs or FPGAs. However, the verbosity of its C host API can hinder application development. In this paper we present cf4ocl, a software library for rapid development of OpenCL programs in pure C. It aims to reduce the verbosity […]

Sparse representations are intensively used in signal processing applications, like image coding, denoising, echo channels modeling, compression, classification and many others. Recent research has shown encouraging results when the sparse signals are created through the use of a learned dictionary. The current study focuses on finding new methods and algorithms, that have a parallel form […]

Leveraging large data sets, deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) achieve state-of-the-art recognition accuracy. Due to the substantial compute and memory operations, however, they require significant execution time. The massive parallel computing capability of GPUs make them as one of the ideal platforms to accelerate CNNs and a number of GPU-based CNN libraries have been developed. […]

CCSD(T), part of coupled cluster (CC) method, is one of the most accurate methods applicable to reasonably large molecules in computational chemistry field. The ability of an efficient parallel CCSD(T) implementation will have a significant impact on application of the high-accuracy methods. Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor and NVIDIA GPU are the most important coprocessors/accelerators which […]

The similarity search problem is found in many application domains including computer graphics, information retrieval, statistics, computational biology, and scientific data processing just to name a few. Recently several studies have been performed to accelerate the k-nearest neighbor (kNN) queries using GPUs, but most of the works develop brute-force exhaustive scanning algorithms leveraging a large […]

Re-ranking algorithms have been proposed to improve the effectiveness of Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems by exploiting contextual information encoded in distance measures and ranked lists. In this paper, we show how we improved the efficiency of one of these algorithms, called Contextual Spaces Re-Ranking. We propose a modification to the algorithm that reduces its […]

Recent trends of increasing core-count and bandwidth/memory-wall have motivated the researchers to explore novel memory technologies for designing processor components such as cache, register file, shared memory, etc. Domain wall memory (DWM), also known as racetrack memory, is a promising emerging technology due to its non-volatility and very high density. However, use of DWM presents […]

High performance computing systems today are heterogeneous in nature with multiple CPUs and accelerators/coprocessors in each computing node. The majority of today’s programs only utilize single computing components (e.g. a CPU, GPU or Xeon Phi) while leaving other components idle (e.g. waiting for the results to be calculated). This may not be optimal for either […]

We describe matrix computations available in the cluster programming framework, Apache Spark. Out of the box, Spark provides abstractions and implementations for distributed matrices and optimization routines using these matrices. When translating single-node algorithms to run on a distributed cluster, we observe that often a simple idea is enough: separating matrix operations from vector operations […]

Detecting higher-order epistatic interactions in Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) remains a challenging task in the fields of genetic epidemiology and computer science. A number of algorithms have recently been proposed for epistasis discovery. However, they suffer from a high computational cost since statistical measures have to be evaluated for each possible combination of markers. Hence, […]
