Using Modern Graphics Processors for General Computation
نویسنده
چکیده
The computational power of PC graphics processors has taken giant leaps forward in recent years. Instead of being simple line-drawing devices, these processors now often prove viable, and in fact superior, alternatives to regular CPUs when it comes to heavy computation.

An Efficient Block Cipher Implementation on Many-Core Graphics Processing Units
This paper presents a study on a high-performance design for a block cipher algorithm implemented on modern many-core graphics processing units (GPUs). The recent emergence of VLSI technology makes it feasible to fabricate multiple processing cores on a single chip and enables general-purpose computation on a GPU (GPGPU). The GPU strategy offers significant performance improvements for all-purp...
متن کاملHardware Acceleration for CGP: Graphics Processing Units
Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) are fast, highly parallel units. In addition to processing 3D graphics, modern GPUs can be programmed for more general-purpose computation. A GPU consists of a large number of ‘shader processors’, and conceptually operates as a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) or multiple instruction multiple data (MIMD) stream processor. A modern GPU can have several hund...
متن کاملData Parallel Computation on Graphics Hardware
As the programmability and performance of modern GPUs continues to increase, many researchers are looking to graphics hardware to solve problems previously performed on general purpose CPUs. In many cases, performing general purpose computation on graphics hardware can provide a significant advantage over implementations on traditional CPUs. However, if GPUs are to become a powerful processing ...

Although the performance of commodity computers has improved drastically with the introduction of multicore processors and GPU computing, the standard R distribution is still based on single-threaded model of computation, using only a small fraction of the computational power available now for most desktops and laptops. Modern statistical software packages rely on high performance implementatio...
متن کاملLossless data compression on GPGPU architectures
Modern graphics processors provide exceptional computational power, but only for certain computational models. While they have revolutionized computation in many fields, compression has been largely unnaffected. This paper aims to explain the current issues and possibilities in GPGPU compression. This is done by a high level overview of the GPGPU computational model in the context of compressio...
