Improving Performance Portability in OpenCL Programs
We study the performance portability of OpenCL across diverse architectures including NVIDIA GPU, Intel Ivy Bridge CPU, and AMD Fusion APU. We present detailed performance analysis at assembly level on three exemplar OpenCL benchmarks: SGEMM, SpMV, and FFT. We also identify a number of tuning knobs that are critical to performance portability, including threads-data mapping, […]

Implementing a Code Generator for Fast Matrix Multiplication in OpenCL on the GPU
This paper presents results of an implementation of code generator for fast general matrix multiply (GEMM) kernels. When a set of parameters is given, the code generator produces the corresponding GEMM kernel written in OpenCL. The produced kernels are optimized for high-performance implementation on GPUs from AMD. Access latencies to GPU global memory is the […]

A Scalable High Performant Cholesky Factorization for Multicore with GPU Accelerators
We present a Cholesky factorization for multicore with GPU accelerators systems. The challenges in developing scalable high performance algorithms for these emerging systems stem from their heterogeneity, massive parallelism, and the huge gap between the GPUs’ compute power vs the CPU-GPU communication speed. We show an approach that is largely based on software infrastructures that […]
