This paper examines an algorithm using dual OpenCL image buffers to optimize data streaming for ensemble processing and visualization. Image buffers were utilized because they allow cached memory access, unlike simple data buffers, which are more commonly used. OpenCL image object performance was improved by allowing upload and mapping into one buffer to occur concurrently […]

Face deepfake detection has seen impressive results recently. Nearly all existing deep learning techniques for face deepfake detection are fully supervised and require labels during training. In this paper, we design a novel deepfake detection method via unsupervised contrastive learning. We first generate two different transformed versions of an image and feed them into two […]

DNN training consumes orders of magnitude more energy than inference and requires innovative use of accelerators to improve energy-efficiency. However, despite having complementary features, GPUs and FPGAs have been mostly used independently for the entire training process, thus neglecting the opportunity in assigning individual but distinct operations to the most suitable hardware. In this paper, […]

In this thesis, the performance of the IceCube projects photon propagation code (clsim) is optimized. The process of GPU code analysis and performance optimization is described in detail. When run on the same hardware, the new version achieves a speedup of about 3x over the original implementation. Comparing the unmodified code on hardware currently used […]

The ultra-large-scale pre-training model can effectively improve the effect of a variety of tasks, and it also brings a heavy computational burden to inference. This paper introduces a series of ultra-large-scale pre-training model optimization methods that combine algorithm characteristics and GPU processor hardware characteristics, and on this basis, propose an inference engine — Easy and […]

Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is an essential tool in scientific and engineering computation. The increasing demand for mixed-precision FFT has made it possible to utilize half-precision floating-point (FP16) arithmetic for faster speed and energy saving. Specializing in lower precision, NVIDIA Tensor Cores can deliver extremely high computation performance. However, the fixed computation pattern makes it […]

GPUs are now used for a wide range of problems within HPC. However, making efficient use of the computational power available with multiple GPUs is challenging. The main challenges in achieving good performance are memory layout, affecting memory bandwidth, effective use of the memory spaces with a GPU, inter-GPU communication, and synchronization. We address these […]

It has been increasingly challenging for the compilers to cope with the evolving computer architectures. The manually written compiler heuristics are not sufficiently wise to capture the impact of data and hardware related dependencies on performance. However, machine learning offers an opportunity to learn the common patterns in the existing dataset and predict the future […]

We introduce CryptGPU, a system for privacy-preserving machine learning that implements all operations on the GPU (graphics processing unit). Just as GPUs played a pivotal role in the success of modern deep learning, they are also essential for realizing scalable privacy-preserving deep learning. In this work, we start by introducing a new interface to losslessly […]

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD) bring unprecedented performance requirements for automotive systems. Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) based platforms have been deployed with the aim of meeting these requirements, being NVIDIA Jetson TX2 and its high-performance successor, NVIDIA AGX Xavier, relevant representatives. However, to what extent high-performance GPU configurations are appropriate for […]

SLATE implements GPU-accelerated linear algebra, relying primarily on vendor-provided GPU BLAS for performance, in particular batched BLAS routines. Initially, SLATE was written using NVIDIA’s CUDA and cuBLAS for GPU acceleration. At the time that the SLATE project was started, it was unclear what GPU technologies would exist for other platforms [1]. Since then, AMD has […]
