Genetic algorithms are effective in solving many optimization tasks. However, the long execution time associated with it prevents its use in many domains. In this paper, we propose a new approach for parallel implementation of genetic algorithm on graphics processing units (GPUs) using CUDA programming model. This paper introduces a novel implementation of the genetic […]

Partial differential equations describing the patterning of thin crystalline films are typically of fourth or sixth order, they are quasi- or semilinear and they are mostly defined on simple geometries such as rectangular domains. For the numerical simulation of these kind of problems spectral methods are an efficient approach. We apply several implicit-explicit schemes to […]

In this paper we evaluate the promise held by lowpower GPUs for non-graphic workloads that arise in embedded systems. Towards this, we map and implement 5 benchmarks, that find utility in very different application domains, to an embedded GPU. Our results show that apart from accelerated performance, embedded GPUs are promising also because of their […]

This paper presents the design and implementation of several fundamental dense linear algebra (DLA) algorithms in OpenCL. In particular, these are linear system solvers and eigenvalue problem solvers. Further, we give an overview of the clMAGMA library, an open source, high performance OpenCL library that incorporates the developments presented, and in general provides to heterogeneous […]

Volume rendering is quite an old concept of representing images, dating back to the 1980’s. It is very useful in the medical field for visualizing the results of a computer tomography (CT) and magnet resonance tomography (MRT) in 3D. Apart from these two major applications for volume rendering, there aren’t many other fields of usage […]

As the conventional means of analyzing the similarity between a query sequence and database sequences, the Smith-Waterman algorithm is feasible for a database search owing to its high sensitivity. However, this algorithm is still quite time consuming. CUDA programming can improve computations efficiently by using the computational power of massive computing hardware as graphics processing […]

Soft matter as a research topic extends over fields from a multitude of disciplines. Biological systems are nearly exclusively composed of soft matter. Nearly everything that animals eat is considered soft matter. Large parts of chemistry deal with soft matter, such as the whole field of polymers. Many materials, expecially modern ones, are soft matter. […]

In this paper, a contrastive evaluation of massive parallel implementations of suffix tree and suffix array to accelerate genome sequence matching are proposed based on Intel Core i7 3770K quad-core and NVIDIA GeForce GTX680 GPU(kepler architecture). Due to the more regular execution flow of the indexed binary search algorithm, the more efficient use of the […]

Recently, general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) has been enabled on mobile devices thanks to the emerging heterogeneous programming models such as OpenCL. The capability of GPGPU on mobile devices opens a new era for mobile computing and can enable many computationally demanding computer vision algorithms on mobile devices. As a case study, this […]

Recently, using GPUs for coprocessing in database systems has been shown to be beneficial. However, information systems processing confidential data cannot benefit from GPU acceleration yet because knowledge of security issues and forensicexaminations on GPUs are still fragmentary. In this paper, we point out key challenges and research questions related to forensics and anti-forensics on […]

In this paper we are testing the efficiency of parallelization with use of graphic cards. There are many applications where such systems occurs in common, so we choose the domain of artificial neural networks. Actually sold graphic cards gives us strong potential in speeding up calculations and card vendors provide us with even more, giving […]

Astronomical photometry is one of the sciences, that benefit from the recent technological development in order to augment the quality and the quantity of the processed data. The planned projects, such as the European SOLARIS and the American LSST promises to generate the amount of data that will be a challenge for modern astronomical data […]
