The memory access limits the performance of stream processors. By exploiting the reuse of data held in the Stream Register File (SRF), an on-chip storage, the number of memory accesses can be reduced. In current stream compilers reuse is only attempted for simple stream references, those whose start and end are known. Compiler analysis from outside of stream processors does not directly enable the...
In recent years, modern graphics processing units have been widely adopted in high performance computing areas to solve large scale computation problems. The leading GPU manufacturers Nvidia and ATI have introduced series of products to the market. While sharing many similar design concepts, GPUs from these two manufacturers differ in several aspects on processor cores and the memory subsystem. In...
We present a comprehensive study on the performance and power consumption of a recent ATI GPU. By employing a rigorous statistical model to analyze execution behaviors of representative general-purpose GPU (GPGPU) applications, we conduct insightful investigations on the target GPU architecture. Our results demonstrate that the GPU execution throughput and the power dissipation are dependent on different...
Stream processors, with the stream programming model, have demonstrated significant performance advantages in the domains signal processing, multimedia and graphics applications. In this paper we examine the applicability of a stream processor to 2-D Jacobi iteration which is widely used to solve partial differential equations, an important class of scientific programs. We first map 2-D Jacobi iteration...
The efficiency of scientific applications on the Imagine stream processor is increasingly concerned by researchers. One of the obstacles is that the programming language of Imagine does not target the scientific computing. This paper introduces a program transformation algorithm to automatically transform loops to the stream programs executed on Imagine. The optimization for memory accessing is also...
