GPU Implementation Over IPTV Software Defined Networking
Esmeralda Hysenbelliu. Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Application www.ijera.com ISSN : 2248-9622, Vol. 7, Issue 8, ( Part -1) August 2017, pp.41-45 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS GPU Implementation over IPTV Software Defined Networking Esmeralda Hysenbelliu* Information Technology Faculty, Polytechnic University of Tirana, Sheshi “Nënë Tereza”, Nr.4, Tirana, Albania Corresponding author: Esmeralda Hysenbelliu ABSTRACT One of the most important issue in IPTV Software defined Network is Bandwidth Issue and Quality of Service at the client side. Decidedly, it is required high level quality of images in low bandwidth and for this reason it is needed different transcoding standards (Compression of image as much as it is possible without destroying the quality of it) as H.264, H265, VP8 and VP9. During a test performed in SMC IPTV SDN Cloud Network, it was observed that with a server HP ProLiant DL380 g6 with two physical processors there was not possible to transcode in format H.264 more than 30 channels simultaneously because CPU’s achieved 100%. This is the reason why it was immediately needed to use Graphic Processing Units called GPU’s which offer high level images processing. After GPU superscalar processor was integrated and done functional via module NVENC of FFEMPEG Program, number of channels transcoded simultaneously was tremendous increased (more than 100 channels). The aim of this paper is to real implement GPU superscalar processors in IPTV Cloud Networks by achieving improvement of performance to more than 60%.

Superscalar Fall 2020
CS232 Superscalar Fall 2020 Superscalar What is superscalar - A superscalar processor has more than one set of functional units and executes multiple independent instructions during a clock cycle by simultaneously dispatching multiple instructions to different functional units in the processor. - You can think of a superscalar processor as there are more than one washer, dryer, and person who can fold. So, it allows more throughput. - The order of instruction execution is usually assisted by the compiler. The hardware and the compiler assure that parallel execution does not violate the intent of the program. - Example: • Ordinary pipeline: four stages (Fetch, Decode, Execute, Write back), one clock cycle per stage. Executing 6 instructions take 9 clock cycles. I0: F D E W I1: F D E W I2: F D E W I3: F D E W I4: F D E W I5: F D E W cc: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 • 2-degree superscalar: attempts to process 2 instructions simultaneously. Executing 6 instructions take 6 clock cycles. I0: F D E W I1: F D E W I2: F D E W I3: F D E W I4: F D E W I5: F D E W cc: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Limitations of Superscalar - The above example assumes that the instructions are independent of each other. So, it’s easily to push them into the pipeline and superscalar. However, instructions are usually relevant to each other. Just like the hazards in pipeline, superscalar has limitations too. - There are several fundamental limitations the system must cope, which are true data dependency, procedural dependency, resource conflict, output dependency, and anti- dependency. -

The Multiscalar Architecture
THE MULTISCALAR ARCHITECTURE by MANOJ FRANKLIN A thesis submitted in partial ful®llment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Computer Sciences) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN Ð MADISON 1993 THE MULTISCALAR ARCHITECTURE Manoj Franklin Under the supervision of Associate Professor Gurindar S. Sohi at the University of Wisconsin-Madison ABSTRACT The centerpiece of this thesis is a new processing paradigm for exploiting instruction level parallelism. This paradigm, called the multiscalar paradigm, splits the program into many smaller tasks, and exploits ®ne-grain parallelism by executing multiple, possibly (control and/or data) depen- dent tasks in parallel using multiple processing elements. Splitting the instruction stream at statically determined boundaries allows the compiler to pass substantial information about the tasks to the hardware. The processing paradigm can be viewed as extensions of the superscalar and multiprocess- ing paradigms, and shares a number of properties of the sequential processing model and the data¯ow processing model. The multiscalar paradigm is easily realizable, and we describe an implementation of the multis- calar paradigm, called the multiscalar processor. The central idea here is to connect multiple sequen- tial processors, in a decoupled and decentralized manner, to achieve overall multiple issue. The mul- tiscalar processor supports speculative execution, allows arbitrary dynamic code motion (facilitated by an ef®cient hardware memory disambiguation mechanism), exploits communication localities, and does all of these with hardware that is fairly straightforward to build. Other desirable aspects of the implementation include decentralization of the critical resources, absence of wide associative searches, and absence of wide interconnection/data paths. -

An Outlook of High Performance Computing Infrastructures for Scientific Computing
An Outlook of High Performance Computing Infrastructures for Scientific Computing [This draft has mainly been extracted from the PhD Thesis of Amjad Ali at Center for Advanced Studies in Pure and Applied Mathematics (CASPAM), Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakitsan 60800. ([email protected])] In natural sciences, two conventional ways of carrying out studies and reserach are: theoretical and experimental.Thefirstapproachisabouttheoraticaltreatmment possibly dealing with the mathematical models of the concerning physical phenomena and analytical solutions. The other approach is to perform physical experiments to carry out studies. This approach is directly favourable for developing the products in engineering. The theoretical branch, although very rich in concepts, has been able to develop only a few analytical methods applicable to rather simple problems. On the other hand the experimental branch involves heavy costs and specific arrangements. These shortcomings with the two approaches motivated the scientists to look around for a third or complementary choice, i.e., the use of numerical simulations in science and engineering. The numerical solution of scientific problems, by its very nature, requires high computational power. As the world has been continuously en- joying substantial growth in computer technologies during the past three decades, the numerical approach appeared to be more and more pragmatic. This constituted acompletenewbranchineachfieldofscience,oftentermedasComputational Science,thatisaboutusingnumericalmethodsforsolvingthemathematicalformu- lations of the science problems.
