In this paper we describe our performance-breakdown model for GPU programs. GPUs are a popular choice as accelerator hardware due to their high performance, high availability and relatively low price. However, writing programs that are highly efficient represents a difficult and time consuming task for programmers because of the complexities of GPU architecture and the […]

It is a fashion to use the manycore accelerators to promote the computing power in a computing platform. Especially GPU is one of the main series of the high performance computing, which is also employed by top supercomputers in the world. Programming methods on such accelerators includes development of control programs which accelerators executes to […]

A variety of real-life mobile sensing applications are becoming available, especially in the life-logging, fitness tracking and health monitoring domains. These applications use mobile sensors embedded in smart phones to recognize human activities in order to get a better understanding of human behavior. While progress has been made, human activity recognition remains a challenging task. […]

The Hierarchical Memory Machine (HMM) is a theoretical parallel computing model that captures the essence of architecture of CUDA-enabled GPUs. The main contribution of this paper is to present an efficient implementation of the O(n^3)-time dynamic programming algorithm for solving the optimal triangulation problem for a convex n-gon in the HMM. Although the HMM can […]

This work focuses on measuring the number of GPU clock cycles necessary to execute load/store instructions in both bank conflict and bank conflict-free shared memory access patterns. To this end, a varying number of parameters have been considered in the experiments, including the number of warps (w), the number of memory bank conflicts (k) as […]

Recent trends of CMOS scaling and increasing number of on-chip cores have led to a large increase in the size of on-chip caches. Since SRAM has low density and consumes large amount of leakage power, its use in designing on-chip caches has become more challenging. To address this issue, researchers are exploring the use of […]

Face recognition is a sophisticated problem requiring a significant commitment of computer resources. A modern GPU architecture provides a practical platform for performing face recognition in real time. The majority of the calculations of an eigenpicture implementation of face recognition are matrix multiplications. For this type of computation, a conventional computer GPU is capable of […]

Feature-adaptive subdivision (FAS) is one of the state-of-the art real-time rendering methods for subdivision surfaces on modern GPUs. It enables efficient and accurate rendering of subdivision surfaces in many interactive applications, such as video games or authoring tools. In this paper, we present dynamic feature-adaptive subdivision (DFAS), which improves upon FAS by enabling an independent […]

A "large-N" correlator that makes use of Field Programmable Gate Arrays and Graphics Processing Units has been deployed as the digital signal processing system for the Long Wavelength Array station at Owens Valley Radio Observatory (LWA-OV), to enable the Large Aperture Experiment to Detect the Dark Ages (LEDA). The system samples a ~100MHz baseband and […]

Leveraging the incredible parallel computational power of graphics processing units (GPUs) is a proven method for accelerating general applications. Efficient utilization of the GPU remains one of the greatest challenges facing programmers. The performance of GPU applications is extremely reliant on memory performance, to the point that it can be considered a critical bottleneck. This […]

We propose a deep learning method for single image super-resolution (SR). Our method directly learns an end-to-end mapping between the low/high-resolution images. The mapping is represented as a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) that takes the low-resolution image as the input and outputs the high-resolution one. We further show that traditional sparse-coding-based SR methods can […]
