基于异构多核平台的优化编程分析-optimization programming analysis based on heterogeneous multi-core platform.docxVIP

the optimized workload distribution across heterogeneous cores, this aggressive model could not only exploit computing power of APU but also CPU cores’ and aggregate them together to accelerate the pure data-parallel application. The heterogeneous data-parallel computational model is used to implementation the Raytracing algorithm on Cell processor and the results show the model could boost the overall performance of the system.Thirdly, for the same goal with the last chapter to explore the CPU performance, a three-stage streaming model is proposed for some kinds of streaming application. After a filter module running on CPU preliminary processes the raw dataset, large part of ―empty‖ data for APU is filtered. The filter module running on CPU could avoid unnecessary data transfer between CPU and APU and computation workload of APU. To evaluate the efficiency of the the model, the MC algorithm is used as a benchmark program to implement on Cell with the streaming model.Finally, when programming on GPU-APU system, the programmer must manually deal with APU local memory, and data transfer between host memory and GPU device memory explicitly. To relieve this burden, the frontend source-to-source compiling and runtime library technologies are used to implement an experimental prototype system based on NVIDIA CUDA programming environment, called memCUDA. It can automatically map NVIDIA GPU device memory to host memory. With some pragma directive language, programmer can directly use host memory in CUDA kernel functions, during which the tedious and error-prone data transfer and device memory management are shielded from programmer. The performance is also improved with some near-optimal technologies. Experiment results show that memCUDA programs can get similar effect with well-optimized CUDA programs with more compact source code.Key words: Heterogeneous Multicore Architecture, Programming Model, Parallel Computing, Cell BE, CUDA, Performance Evaluation独创性声明本人声明所呈
