high performance computing on graphics processing units: hgpu.org

General Purpose Computation on Graphics Processing Units (GP-GPU) has been recognized as viable and inexpensive technique in recent trends of parallel computing. Earlier this technology has only been used as commodity processing units in video cards which have been used for generating graphics in High resolution. This technology provides greater computational power with its high […]

Many modern-day Bioinformatics algorithms rely heavily on statistical models to analyze their biological data. Some of these statistical models lend themselves nicely to standard high performance computing optimizations such as parallelism, while others do not. One such algorithm is Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). In this thesis, we present a heterogeneous compute solution for optimizing […]

Volume image registration is a basic component of medical image processing which traditionally requires long computation time. In this paper, we propose five Correlation Ratio based schemes that explore the design space for Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) acceleration. Through comparisons among these five schemes, we present the trade-off between benefits and overheads of introducing shadow […]

GPU Computing Have attracted lots of attention due to their large amount of data processing. The algorithm proposed in this paper is use for exact pattern matching on GPU. Among some famous algorithms, the Aho-Corasick Algorithm match multiple pattern simultaneously. a Traditional Aho-Corasick Algorithm matches the pattern by traversing state machine, known as Deterministic finite […]

The Dark Sky Simulations are an ongoing series of cosmological N-body simulations designed to provide a quantitative and accessible model of the evolution of the large-scale Universe. Such models are essential for many aspects of the study of dark matter and dark energy, since we lack a sufficiently accurate analytic model of non-linear gravitational clustering. […]

As microfluidics has been applied extensively in many cell and biochemical applications, monitoring the related processes is an important requirement. In this work, we design and fabricate a high-throughput microfluidic device which contains 32 microchambers to perform automated parallel microfluidic operations and monitoring on an automated stage of a microscope. Images are captured at multiple […]

This paper investigates compressed sensing using hidden Markov models (HMMs) and hence provides an extension of recent single frame, bounded error sparse decoding problems into a class of sparse estimation problems containing both temporal evolution and stochastic aspects. This paper presents two optimal estimators for compressed HMMs. The impact of measurement compression on HMM filtering […]

Parallel computing has been the enabling technology of high-end machines for many years. Now, it has finally become the ubiquitous key to the efficient use of any kind of multi-processor computer architecture, from smart phones, tablets, embedded systems and cloud computing up to exascale computers. _x000D_ This book presents the proceedings of ParCo2013 – the […]

Human vision is a complex combination of physical, psychological and neurological processes that allow us to interact with our environment. We use vision effortlessly to detect, identify and track objects, to navigate and to create a conceptual map of our surroundings. The goal of computer vision is to design computer systems that are capable of […]

Fast growing computing power on commodity parallel hardware makes it both an opportunity and a challenge to use modern hardware for large-scale data management. While GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) computing is conceptually an excellent match for spatial data management which is both data and computing intensive, the complexity of multi-dimensional spatial indexing and query processing […]

As computing systems increase in size and parallelism, it becomes more and more difficult to balance workload during program execution. Heterogeneous systems further complicate the situation, as their different constituent compute resources may consume work at different rates, and may have affinity for different kinds of work. Traditional approaches to load-balancing fail to fully address […]

Recent graphics processing units (GPUs) have emerged as a promising platform for general purpose computing and have been shown to be very efficient in executing parallel applications with regular control and memory access behavior. Current GPU architectures primarily adopt the single-instruction multiple-thread (SIMT) programming model that balances programmability and hardware efficiency. With SIMT, the programmer […]
