Exploring Weak Scalability for FEM Calculations on a GPU-Enhanced Cluster
Exploring weak scalability for FEM calculations on a GPU-enhanced cluster Dominik G¨oddeke a,∗,1, Robert Strzodka b,2, Jamaludin Mohd-Yusof c, Patrick McCormick c,3, Sven H.M. Buijssen a, Matthias Grajewski a and Stefan Turek a aInstitute of Applied Mathematics, University of Dortmund bStanford University, Max Planck Center cComputer, Computational and Statistical Sciences Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory Abstract The first part of this paper surveys co-processor approaches for commodity based clusters in general, not only with respect to raw performance, but also in view of their system integration and power consumption. We then extend previous work on a small GPU cluster by exploring the heterogeneous hardware approach for a large-scale system with up to 160 nodes. Starting with a conventional commodity based cluster we leverage the high bandwidth of graphics processing units (GPUs) to increase the overall system bandwidth that is the decisive performance factor in this scenario. Thus, even the addition of low-end, out of date GPUs leads to improvements in both performance- and power-related metrics.

Evolution of the Graphical Processing Unit
University of Nevada Reno Evolution of the Graphical Processing Unit A professional paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science with a major in Computer Science by Thomas Scott Crow Dr. Frederick C. Harris, Jr., Advisor December 2004 Dedication To my wife Windee, thank you for all of your patience, intelligence and love. i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Harris for his patience and the help he has provided me. The field of Computer Science needs more individuals like Dr. Harris. I would like to thank Dr. Mensing for unknowingly giving me an excellent model of what a Man can be and for his confidence in my work. I am very grateful to Dr. Egbert and Dr. Mensing for agreeing to be committee members and for their valuable time. Thank you jeffs. ii Abstract In this paper we discuss some major contributions to the field of computer graphics that have led to the implementation of the modern graphical processing unit. We also compare the performance of matrix‐matrix multiplication on the GPU to the same computation on the CPU. Although the CPU performs better in this comparison, modern GPUs have a lot of potential since their rate of growth far exceeds that of the CPU. The history of the rate of growth of the GPU shows that the transistor count doubles every 6 months where that of the CPU is only every 18 months. There is currently much research going on regarding general purpose computing on GPUs and although there has been moderate success, there are several issues that keep the commodity GPU from expanding out from pure graphics computing with limited cache bandwidth being one. -
Graphics Processing Units
Graphics Processing Units Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are coprocessors that traditionally perform the rendering of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional graphics information for display on a screen. In particular computer games request more and more realistic real-time rendering of graphics data and so GPUs became more and more powerful highly parallel specialist computing units. It did not take long until programmers realized that this computational power can also be used for tasks other than computer graphics. For example already in 1990 Lengyel, Re- ichert, Donald, and Greenberg used GPUs for real-time robot motion planning [43]. In 2003 Harris introduced the term general-purpose computations on GPUs (GPGPU) [28] for such non-graphics applications running on GPUs. At that time programming general-purpose computations on GPUs meant expressing all algorithms in terms of operations on graphics data, pixels and vectors. This was feasible for speed-critical small programs and for algorithms that operate on vectors of floating-point values in a similar way as graphics data is typically processed in the rendering pipeline. The programming paradigm shifted when the two main GPU manufacturers, NVIDIA and AMD, changed the hardware architecture from a dedicated graphics-rendering pipeline to a multi-core computing platform, implemented shader algorithms of the rendering pipeline in software running on these cores, and explic- itly supported general-purpose computations on GPUs by offering programming languages and software- development toolchains. This chapter first gives an introduction to the architectures of these modern GPUs and the tools and languages to program them. Then it highlights several applications of GPUs related to information security with a focus on applications in cryptography and cryptanalysis. -
