Improving Resource Utilization in Heterogeneous CPU-GPU Systems
Improving Resource Utilization in Heterogeneous CPU-GPU Systems A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the School of Engineering and Applied Science University of Virginia In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Computer Engineering) by Michael Boyer May 2013 c 2013 Michael Boyer Abstract Graphics processing units (GPUs) have attracted enormous interest over the past decade due to substantial increases in both performance and programmability. Programmers can potentially leverage GPUs for substantial performance gains, but at the cost of significant software engineering effort. In practice, most GPU applications do not effectively utilize all of the available resources in a system: they either fail to use use a resource at all or use a resource to less than its full potential. This underutilization can hurt both performance and energy efficiency. In this dissertation, we address the underutilization of resources in heterogeneous CPU-GPU systems in three different contexts. First, we address the underutilization of a single GPU by reducing CPU-GPU interaction to improve performance. We use as a case study a computationally-intensive video-tracking application from systems biology. Because of the high cost of CPU-GPU coordination, our initial, straightforward attempts to accelerate this application failed to effectively utilize the GPU. By leveraging some non-obvious optimization strategies, we significantly decreased the amount of CPU-GPU interaction and improved the performance of the GPU implementation by 26x relative to the best CPU implementation. Based on the lessons we learned, we present general guidelines for optimizing GPU applications as well as recommendations for system-level changes that would simplify the development of high-performance GPU applications. -

Monte Carlo Evaluation of Financial Options Using a GPU a Thesis
Monte Carlo Evaluation of Financial Options using a GPU Claus Jespersen 20093084 A thesis presented for the degree of Master of Science Computer Science Department Aarhus University Denmark 02-02-2015 Supervisor: Gerth Brodal Abstract The financial sector has in the last decades introduced several new fi- nancial instruments. Among these instruments, are the financial options, which for some cases can be difficult if not impossible to evaluate analyti- cally. In those cases the Monte Carlo method can be used for pricing these instruments. The Monte Carlo method is a computationally expensive al- gorithm for pricing options, but is at the same time an embarrassingly parallel algorithm. Modern Graphical Processing Units (GPU) can be used for general purpose parallel-computing, and the Monte Carlo method is an ideal candidate for GPU acceleration. In this thesis, we will evaluate the classical vanilla European option, an arithmetic Asian option, and an Up-and-out barrier option using the Monte Carlo method accelerated on a GPU. We consider two scenarios; a single option evaluation, and a se- quence of a varying amount of option evaluations. We report performance speedups of up to 290x versus a single threaded CPU implementation and up to 53x versus a multi threaded CPU implementation. 1 Contents I Theoretical aspects of Computational Finance 5 1 Computational Finance 5 1.1 Options . .7 1.1.1 Types of options . .7 1.1.2 Exotic options . .9 1.2 Pricing of options . 11 1.2.1 The Black-Scholes Partial Differential Equation . 11 1.2.2 Solving the PDE and pricing vanilla European options .
