CUDA-MPI-FDTD implementation of Maxwell’s equations in general dispersive media

CUDA-MPI-FDTD implementation of Maxwell’s equations in general dispersive media

| 3 May, 2012 | 0 Comments

We present the first MPI-CUDA implementation of Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) discretization of Maxwell’s equations in dispersive media that uses the MPI API to assign each CPU node its share of the computational domain and GPUs to their corresponding CPU threads

Language identification using multi-core processors

Language identification using multi-core processors

| 2 May, 2012 | 0 Comments

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

Intel Ivy Bridge tested: very faster and power efficient

Intel Ivy Bridge tested: very faster and power efficient

| 24 April, 2012 | 1 Comment

Intel is preparing for another major transition, similar to the one it brought to light seven years ago. The move will once again be motivated by mobility, and the transition will be away from the giant CPUs that currently power high-end desktops and notebooks to lower power, more integrated SoCs that find their way into tablets and smartphones.

OpenCL Implementation of Particle Swarm Optimization: A Comparison between Multi-core CPU and GPU Performances

OpenCL Implementation of Particle Swarm Optimization: A Comparison between Multi-core CPU and GPU Performances

| 24 April, 2012 | 0 Comments

We tested our latest parallel implementations of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), compiled under OpenCL for both GPUs and multi-core CPUs, and separately optimized for the two hardware architectures.
