HPVM: Heterogeneous Parallel Virtual Machine
We propose a parallel program representation for heterogeneous systems, designed to enable performance portability across a wide range of popular parallel hardware, including GPUs, vector instruction sets, multicore CPUs and potentially FPGAs. Our representation, which we call HPVM, is a hierarchical dataflow graph with shared memory and vector instructions. HPVM supports three important capabilities for […]

CuLDA_CGS: Solving Large-scale LDA Problems on GPUs
Latent Dirichlet Allocation(LDA) is a popular topic model. Given the fact that the input corpus of LDA algorithms consists of millions to billions of tokens, the LDA training process is very time-consuming, which may prevent the usage of LDA in many scenarios, e.g., online service. GPUs have benefited modern machine learning algorithms and big data […]

Improved OpenCL-based Implementation of Social Field Pedestrian Model
Two aspects of improvements are proposed for the OpenCL-based implementation of the social field pedestrian model. In the aspect of algorithm, a method based on the idea of divide-and-conquer is devised in order to overcome the problem of global memory depletion when fields are of a larger size. This is of importance for the study […]

Programming Abstractions and Optimization Techniques for GPU-based Heterogeneous Systems
CPU/GPU heterogeneous systems have shown remarkable advantages in performance and energy consumption compared to homogeneous ones such as standard multi-core systems. Such heterogeneity represents one of the most promising trends for the near-future evolution of high performance computing hardware. However, as a double-edged sword, the heterogeneity also brings significant programming complexities that prevent the easy […]
