High-angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) is a diffusion weighted MRI technique that overcomes some of the decisive limitations of its predecessor, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), in the areas of composite nerve fiber structure. Despite its advantages, HARDI raises several issues: complex modeling of the data, nonintuitive and computationally demanding visualization, inability to interactively explore and […]

Logic simulation is the major verification technique used for electronic system designs. Speeding up logic simulation results in great savings and shorter time-to-market. We parallelize logic simulation using Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). We present a parallel cycle-based logic simulation algorithm that uses And Inverter Graphs (AIGs) as design representations. We partition the gates in the […]

In this article we explore the NVIDIA graphical processing units (GPU) computational power in cryptography using CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) technology. CUDA makes the general purpose computing easy using the parallel processing presents in GPUs. To do this, the NVIDIA GPUs architectures and CUDA are presented, besides cryptography concepts. Furthermore, we do the comparison […]

We study the problem of using the GPU to compute the generalized Voronoi diagram (GVD) for higher-order sites, such as line segments and curves. This problem has applications in many fields, including computer animation, pattern recognition and so on. A number of methods have been proposed that use the GPU to speed up the computation […]

Time-domain circuit simulation is often dominated by the transistor model evaluation time. An analysis of a test suite of 27 circuits shows 66% of the transient runtime is spent evaluating the core BSIM4 transistor model code. A modern graphics processing unit (GPU) is a highly paralled, high performance computer suitable for non-graphics tasks. Circuit simulation […]

Network Intrusion Detection System has been widely used to protect computer systems from network attacks. Due to the ever-increasing number of attacks and network complexity, traditional software approaches on uni-processors have become inadequate for the current high-speed network. In this paper, we propose a novel parallel algorithm to speedup string matching performed on GPUs. We […]

This paper describes an implementation of a sonar image simulator optimized for running on a computer’s Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). GPUs are hardware-optimized to obtain maximum performance on computer graphics applications. Because these applications generally simulate focal plane images (i.e. optical systems, video, etc), some specific adaptations are required to render range images such as […]

Heterogeneous or co-processor architectures are becoming an important component of high productivity computing systems (HPCS). In this work the performance of a GPU based HPCS is compared with the performance of a commercially available FPGA based HPC. Contrary to previous approaches that focussed on specific examples, a broader analysis is performed by considering processes at […]

Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is a popular computational simulation technique used in various scientific and engineering fields. Although AMR data is organized in a hierarchical multi-resolution data structure, the traditional volume visualization algorithms such as ray-casting and splatting cannot handle the form without converting it to a sophisticated data structure. In this paper, we present […]
