The Java and Scala community has built a very successful big data ecosystem. However, most of neural networks running on it are modeled in dynamically typed programming languages. These dynamically typed deep learning frameworks treat neural networks as differentiable expressions that contain many trainable variable, and perform automatic differentiation on those expressions when training them. […]

This report provides an introduction to the Bandicoot C++ library for GPU linear algebra and scientific computing, detailing its user interface and performance characteristics as well as the technical details of its internal design. Bandicoot is the GPU-enabled counterpart to the well-known Armadillo C++ linear algebra library, aimed at allowing users to enable GPU computation […]

Knowledge graphs can be used in many areas related to data semantics such as question-answering systems, knowledge based systems. However, the currently constructed knowledge graphs need to be complemented for better knowledge in terms of relations. It is called knowledge graph completion. To add new relations to the existing knowledge graph by using knowledge graph […]

We present a C++ library for transparent memory and compute abstraction across CPU and GPU architectures. Our library combines generic data structures like vectors, multi-dimensional arrays, maps, graphs, and sparse grids with basic generic algorithms like arbitrary-dimensional convolutions, copying, merging, sorting, prefix sum, reductions, neighbor search, and filtering. The memory layout of the data structures […]

In this study, we present a novel dataset for training machine learning models translating between OpenMP Fortran and C++ code. To ensure reliability and applicability, the dataset is initially refined using a meticulous code similarity test. The effectiveness of our dataset is assessed using both quantitative (CodeBLEU) and qualitative (human evaluation) methods. We demonstrate how […]

We present a first look at ProtoX, a code generation framework for stencil and pointwise operations that occur frequently in the numerical solution of partial differential equations. ProtoX has Proto as its library frontend and SPIRAL as the backend. Proto is a C++ based domain specific library which optimizes the algorithms used to compute the […]

We propose a general framework for decoding quantum error-correcting codes with generative modeling. The model utilizes autoregressive neural networks, specifically Transformers, to learn the joint probability of logical operators and syndromes. This training is in an unsupervised way, without the need for labeled training data, and is thus referred to as pre-training. After the pre-training, […]

GPUs are renowned for their exceptional computational acceleration capabilities achieved through massive parallelism. However, utilizing GPUs for computation requires manual identification of code regions suitable for offloading, data transfer management, and synchronization. Recent advancements have capitalized on the LLVM/OpenMP portable target offloading interface, elevating GPU acceleration to new heights. This approach, known as the direct […]

This paper introduces the eGPU, a SIMT soft processor designed for FPGAs. Soft processors typically achieve modest operating frequencies, a fraction of the headline performance claimed by modern FPGA families, and obtain correspondingly modest performance results. We propose a GPGPU architecture structured specifically to take advantage of both the soft logic and embedded features of […]

Scientific applications strive for increased memory and computing performance, requiring massive amounts of data and time to produce results. Applications utilize large-scale, parallel computing platforms with advanced architectures to accommodate their needs. However, developing performance-portable applications for modern, heterogeneous platforms requires lots of effort and expertise in both the application and systems domains. This is […]

Building large AI fleets to support the rapidly growing DL workloads is an active research topic for modern cloud providers. Generating accurate benchmarks plays an essential role in designing the fast-paced software and hardware solutions in this space. Two fundamental challenges to make this scalable are (i) workload representativeness and (ii) the ability to quickly […]

GPUs are increasingly used for high-performance and interactive data analytics workloads due to their capability to accelerate computation using massive parallelism. A key constraint of GPU-based data analytics today is the limited memory capacity in GPU devices. Data compression is a powerful technique that can mitigate the capacity limitation in two ways: (1) fitting more […]
