Although general purpose GPUs have relatively high computing capacity, they also introduce high power consumption compared with general purpose CPUs. Therefore low-power techniques targeted for GPUs will be one of the most hot topics in the future. On the other hand, in several application domains, users are unwilling to sacrifice performance to save power. In this paper, we propose an effective kernel...
As one of the most popular accelerators, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) has demonstrated high computing power in several application fields. On the other hand, GPU also produces high power consumption and has been one of the most largest power consumers in desktop and supercomputer systems. However, software power optimization method targeted for GPU has not been well studied. In this work, we propose...
Recently, GPGPU has been adopted well in the High Performance Computing (HPC) field. The limited global memory bandwidth poses a great challenge to many GPGPU programmers trying to exploit parallelism within the CPU-GPU heterogeneous platform. In this paper, we choose SWIM, a typical memory intensive application from the SPEC OMP 2001 benchmark suite, for case study. We attempt to optimize the performance...
As the system scales up continuously, the problem of power consumption for high performance computing (HPC) system becomes more severe. Heterogeneous system integrating two or more kinds of processors, could be better adapted to heterogeneity in applications and provide much higher energy efficiency in theory. Many studies have shown heterogeneous system is preferable on energy consumption to homogeneous...
As one of the most popular many-core architecture, GPUs have illustrated power in many non-graphic applications. Traditional general purpose computing systems tend to integrate GPU as the co-processor to accelerate parallel computing tasks. Meanwhile, GPUs also result in high power consumption, which accounts for a large proportion of the total system power consumption. In this paper, we mainly focus...
With fast development of transistor technology, Graphic Processing Unit(GPU) is increasingly used in the non-graphics applications, and major GPU hardware vendors have introduced software stacks for their own GPUs, such as Brook+ for AMD GPU. Compared with the traditional parallel systems, heterogeneous systems integerating stream-based multi-threaded GPUs provide higher parallel computing capabilities...
Graphic Processing Unit (GPU), with many light-weight data-parallel cores, can provide substantial parallel computing power to accelerate several general purpose applications. Both the AMD and NVIDIA corps provide their specific high performance GPUs and software platforms. As the floating-point computing capacity increases continually, the problem of ``memory-wall'' becomes more serious, especially...
Graphic Processing Unit (GPU), with many light-weight data-parallel cores, can provide substantial parallel computational power to accelerate general purpose applications. But the powerful computing capacity could not be fully utilized for memory-intensive applications, which are limited by off-chip memory bandwidth and latency. Stencil computation has abundant parallelism and low computational intensity...
