We explore the application of GPUs to speech pattern processing, using language identification (LID) to demonstrate their benefits. Realization of the full potential of GPUs requires both effective coding of predetermined algorithms, and, if there is a choice, selection of the algorithm or technique for a specific function that is most able to exploit the GPU

GPU implementations of a relaxation scheme for image partitioning: GLSL versus CUDA

GPU implementations of a relaxation scheme for image partitioning: GLSL versus CUDA

| 26 April, 2012 | 0 Comments

We compare the performance of the implementations, discuss the implementation details, and show that suitability of this algorithm for GPU allows it to become a comparable alternative to the modern partitioning algorithm.
