Advanced Processing Techniques Using the Intrinsity(tm) FastMATH(tm) Processor
نویسنده
چکیده
The IntrinsityTM FastMATHTM processor combines a MIPS32TM core, a matrix/vector engine, and dual RapidIOTM interfaces for a 2 GHz adaptive signal processorTM product capable of up to 64 giga operations per second (GOPS) (peak) computing performance. (See Section 8 on page 7 for more information on performance.) It is an embedded microprocessor designed for areas such as adaptive signal processing, image analysis, and other fields that benefit from flexibility, speed, and an architecture optimized for mathematical computation. With its 4 × 4 matrix of processing elements, it can compete favorably with most custom hardware designs, but uses a standard software programming model. This enables field enhancements without having to change hardware. This document describes the architecture, what it can do, and techniques for using it effectively. Samples are available now.

Accelerated protein structure comparison using TM-score-GPU
MOTIVATION Accurate comparisons of different protein structures play important roles in structural biology, structure prediction and functional annotation. The root-mean-square-deviation (RMSD) after optimal superposition is the predominant measure of similarity due to the ease and speed of computation. However, global RMSD is dependent on the length of the protein and can be dominated by diver...
متن کاملDistributed Optimistic Concurrency Considered Optimistic
Optimistic concurrency relies on speculative execution, read-write conflict detection, and checkpointrollback techniques to provide a programming model that replaces locks with the abstraction of atomic, isolated execution of critical sections. Previous research has shown that on chip multi-processors, a class of workloads featuring irregular parallelism and rare read-write conflicts can reap s...
