Optimizing Code For Graphics Processing Units

Type

Paper in proceedings outside WoS and Scopus

Original Abstract

Graphics processing units (GPUs) are suitable for acceleration of many difficult scientific tasks. Several high-level languages for GPU have become available such as CUDA and OpenCL and GPU technology is rapidly advancing. This paper presents methods for the code optimization for general purpose computation on GPUs (GPGPU). Architecture of the GPU is briefly introduced as well as experiments leading to conclusions about factors mostly affecting their performance. Paper is concluded with the aim of PhD thesis.
