The diversity in processor technology used by High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities is growing, and so applications must be written in such a way that they can attain high levels of performance across a range of different CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerators. Measuring application performance across this wide range of platforms becomes crucial, but there […]

Error-bounded lossy compression is a critical technique for significantly reducing scientific data volumes. Compared to CPU-based scientific compressors, GPU-accelerated compressors exhibit substantially higher throughputs, which can thus better adapt to GPU-based scientific simulation applications. However, a critical limitation still lies in all existing GPU-accelerated error-bounded lossy compressors: they suffer from low compression ratios, which strictly […]

The digital landscape of the Internet of Energy (IoE) is on the brink of a revolutionary transformation with the integration of edge Artificial Intelligence (AI). This comprehensive review elucidates the promise and potential that edge AI holds for reshaping the IoE ecosystem. Commencing with a meticulously curated research methodology, the article delves into the myriad […]

Optimizing the deployment of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) is hard. Despite deep learning approaches increasingly providing state-of-the-art solutions to a variety of difficult problems, such as computer vision and natural language processing, DNNs can be prohibitively expensive, for example, in terms of inference time or memory usage. Effective exploration of the design space requires a […]

GPUs have cemented their position in computer systems, not restricted to graphics but also extensively used for general-purpose computing. With this comes a rapidly expanding population of developers using GPUs for programming. However, programming with GPUs is notoriously difficult due to their unique architecture and constant evolution. A large number of developers have encountered problems […]

With the growing interest in Machine Learning (ML), Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) have become key elements of any computing infrastructure. Their widespread deployment in data centers and the cloud raises the question of how to use them beyond ML use cases, with growing interest in employing them in a database context. In this paper, we […]

The increasing GPU performance and maturing computational platform make it possible to handle general-purpose computing jobs traditionally computed by the CPU. Also, just like what we did in the CPU program, we use testing to verify the correctness of the GPU program. However, the quality of the tests may remain unknown, which inspires us to […]

Iteration-based algorithms have been widely used and achieved excellent results in many fields. However, in the big data era, data that needs to be processed is enormous in terms of both depth (the dimensionality of data) and breadth (the volume of data). Due to the slowdown of Moore’s Law, the computing power of single-core CPUs […]

The proliferation of artificial intelligence applications has underscored the need for increased portability among graphic processing units (GPUs) from different vendors. With CUDA as one of the most popular GPU programming languages, CuPBoP (CUDA for Parallelized and Broad-range Processors) aims to provide NVIDIA’s proprietary CUDA language support to a variety of GPU and CPU platforms […]
