A major reason is computational heavy computer games, where standard of performance and high quality graphics con- stantly rise. Another reason is better suitable technologies for programming the graphics cards. Combined, the product is high raw performance devices and means to access that performance. This thesis investigates some of the current technologies for general-purpose computing on graphics processing units. Tech- nologies are primarily compared by means of benchmarking performance and secondarily by factors concerning programming and implementation. The choice of technology can have a large impact on performance. The benchmark applica- tion found the difference in execution time of the fastest technology, CUDA, com- pared to the slowest, OpenCL, to be twice a factor of two. The benchmark applica- tion also found out that the older technologies, OpenGL and DirectX, are compet- itive with CUDA and OpenCL in terms of resulting raw performance. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank Åsa Detterfelt for the opportunity to make this thesis work at MindRoad AB.

  • GPU Rigid Body Simulation Using Opencl Erwin Coumans
    GPU rigid body simulation using OpenCL Erwin Coumans, http://bulletphysics.org Introduction This document discusses our efforts to rewrite our rigid body simulator, Bullet 3.x, to make it suitable for many-core systems, such as GPUs, using OpenCL. Although OpenCL is thought, most of it can be applied to projects using other GPU compute languages, such as NVIDIA CUDA and Microsoft DX11 Direct Compute. Bullet is physics simulation software, in particular for rigid body dynamics and collision detection in. The project started around 2003, as in-house physics engine for a Playstation 2 game. In 2005 it was made publically available as open source under a liberal zlib license. Since then it is being used by game developers, movie studios and 3d modelers and authoring tools such as Maya, Blender, Cinema 4D etc. Before the rewrite, we have been optimizing and refactoring Bullet 2.x for multi-code, and we’ll briefly touch on those efforts. Previously we have worked on simplified GPU rigid body simulation, such as [Harada 2010] and [Coumans 2009]. Our recent GPU rigid body dynamics work has approached the same quality compared to the CPU version. The Bullet 3.x rigid body and collision detection pipeline runs 100% on the GPU using OpenCL. On a high- end desktop GPU it can simulate 100 thousand rigid bodies in real-time. The source code is available as open source at http://github.com/erwincoumans/bullet3 . Appendix B shows how to build and use the project on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. Bullet 2.x Refactoring Bullet 2.x is written in modular C++ and its API was initially designed to be flexible and extendible, rather than optimized for speed.

  • Study on Heterogeneous Queuing Bao Zhenshan1,A, Chen Chong1,B, Zhang Wenbo1,C, Liu Jianli1,2, Brett A
    2016 International Conference on Information Engineering and Communications Technology (IECT 2016) ISBN: 978-1-60595-375-5 Study on Heterogeneous Queuing Bao Zhenshan1,a, Chen Chong1,b, Zhang Wenbo1,c, Liu Jianli1,2, Brett A. Becker2,3 1College of Computer Science, Beijing University of Technology 100 Ping Le Yuan, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100124, China 2Beijing-Dublin International College, Beijing University of Technology 100 Ping Le Yuan, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100124, China 3University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin 4, Ireland [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: heterogeneous Queuing (hQ), HSA, APU, heterogeneous computing Abstract. As CPU processing speed has slowed down year-on-year, heterogeneous “CPU-GPU” architectures combining multi-core CPU and GPU accelerators have become increasingly attractive. Under this backdrop, the Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) standard was released in 2012. New Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) architectures – AMD Kaveri and Carrizo – were released in 2014 and 2015 respectively, and are compliant with HSA. These architectures incorporate two technologies central to HSA, hUMA (heterogeneous Unified Memory Access) and hQ (heterogeneous Queuing). This paper summarizes the detailed processes of hQ by analyzing the AMDKFD kernel source code. Furthermore, this paper also presents hQ performance indexes obtained by running matrix-vector multiplications on Kaveri and Carrizo experiment platforms. The experimental results show that hQ can prevent the system from falling into kernel mode as much as possible without additional overhead. We find that compared with Kaveri, the Carrizo architecture provides better HSA performance. 1. Introduction In recent years, as a result of slowing CPU performance, GPU acceleration has become more mainstream.
