The rising pressure for simultaneously improving performance and reducing power is driving more diversity into all aspects of computing devices. An algorithm that is wellmatched to the target hardware can run multiple times faster and more energy efficiently than one that is not. The problem is complicated by the fact that a program’s input also […]

The current trend in next-generation exascale systems goes towards integrating a wide range of specialized (co-)processors into traditional supercomputers. However, the integration of different specialized devices increases the degree of heterogeneity and the complexity in programming such type of systems. Due to the efficiency of heterogeneous systems in terms of Watt and FLOPS per surface […]

MapReduce, originally developed by Google for search applications, has recently become a popular programming framework for parallel and distributed environments. This paper presents an energy-efficient architecture design for MapReduce on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The major goal is to enable users to program FPGAs with simple MapReduce interfaces, and meanwhile to embrace automatic performance […]

Matrix factorization (MF) is employed by many popular algorithms, e.g., collaborative filtering. The emerging GPU technology, with massively multicore and high intra-chip memory bandwidth but limited memory capacity, presents an opportunity for accelerating MF much further when appropriately exploiting the GPU architectural characteristics. This paper presents cuMF, a CUDA-based matrix factorization library that implements memory-optimized […]

Many systems have been developed for machine learning at scale. Performance has steadily improved, but there has been relatively little work on explicitly defining or approaching the limits of performance. In this paper we describe the application of roofline design, an approach borrowed from computer architecture, to large-scale machine learning. In roofline design, one exposes […]

This paper presents a fast method for global search of atomic structures. The structures global optimization (SGO) engine consists of a high-efficiency differential evolution algorithm, accelerated local relaxation methods and an ultrafast density functional theory plane-wave code run on GPU machines. It can search the global minimum configuration of crystals, two-dimensional materials and quantum clusters […]

We present a portable platform, called PIC_ENGINE, for accelerating Particle-In-Cell (PIC) codes on heterogeneous many-core architectures such as Graphic Processing Units (GPUs). The aim of this development is efficient simulations on future exascale systems by allowing different parallelization strategies depending on the application problem and the specific architecture. To this end, this platform contains the […]

Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility of fast Monte Carlo (MC) based inverse biological planning for the treatment of head and neck tumors in spot-scanning proton therapy. Methods: Recently, a fast and accurate Graphics Processor Unit (GPU)-based MC simulation of proton transport was developed and used as the dose calculation engine in a GPU-accelerated IMPT optimizer.

The move from single core and processor systems to multi-core and many-processors systemscomes with the requirement of implementing computations in a way that can utilizethese multiple units eciently. This task of writing ecient multi-threaded algorithmswill not be possible with out improving programming languages and compilers to providethe mechanisms to do so. Computer aided mathematical modeling […]
