본 논문에서는 연산 최적화 알고리듬 중 PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization) 알고리듬을 NVIDIA사(社)에서 제공한 CUDA(Compute Unified Device Architecture)를 이용하여 새롭게 구현하였다. CUDA는 CPU가 아닌 GPU(Graphic Processing Unit)의 다양한 병렬 처리 능력을 사용해 복잡한 컴퓨팅 문제를 해결하는 소프트웨어 개발을 가능케 하는 기술이다. 이 기술을 연산 최적화 알고리듬 중 PSO에 적용함으로써 알고리듬의 수행 속도를 개선하였다. CUDA를 적용한 PSO 알고리듬의 검증을 위해 언어 기반으로 프로그래밍하고 다양한 Test Function을 통해 시뮬레이션 하였다. 그리고 기존의 PSO 알고리듬과 비교 분석하였다. 또한 알고리듬의 성능 향상으로 여러 가지 최적화 분야에 적용 할 수 있음을 보인다.

We develop an efficient numerical method for pricing the Derivative Linked Securities (DLS). The payoff structure of the hybrid DLS consists with a standard 2-Star step-down type ELS and the range accrual product which depends on the number of days in the coupon period that the index stay within the pre-determined range. We assume that the 2-dimensional Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) as the model of two equities and a no-arbitrage interest model (One-factor Hull and White interest rate model) as a model for the interest rate. In this study, we employ the Monte Carlo simulation method with the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) parallel computing as the General Purpose computing on Graphic Processing Unit (GPGPU) technology for fast and efficient numerical valuation of DLS. Comparing the Monte Carlo method with single CPU computation or MPI implementation, the result of Monte Carlo simulation with CUDA parallel computing produces higher performance.

We have developed CUDA-enabled version of a general purpose molecular dynamics simulation code for GPU. Implementation details including parallelization scheme and performance optimization are described. Here we have focused on the non-bonded force calculation because it is most time consuming part in molecular dynamics simulation. Timing results using CUDA-enabled and CPU versions were obtained and compared for a biomolecular system containing 23558 atoms. CUDA-enabled versions were found to be faster than CPU version. This suggests that GPU could be a useful hardware for molecular dynamics simulation.

We have parallelized the cumulative sum (CUSUM) test of NIST's statistical random number test suite in a CUDA environment. Storing random walks in an array instead of in scalar variables eliminates data dependence. The change in data structure makes it possible to apply parallel scans, scatters, and reductions at each stage of the test. In addition, serial data exchanges between CPU and GPU are removed by migrating CPU's tasks to GPU. Finally we have optimized global memory accesses. The overall speedup is 23 times over the sequential version. Our results contribute to improving security of random numbers for cryptographic keys as well as reducing the time for evaluation of randomness.

This paper presents various speed optimization techniques for software implementation of the HIGHT block cipher on CPUs and GPUs. We considered 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems for CPU implementations. After we applied the bit-slicing and byte-slicing techniques to HIGHT, the encryption speed recorded 1.48Gbps over the intel core i7 920 CPU with a 64-bit operating system, which is up to 2.4 times faster than the previous implementation. We also implemented HIGHT on an NVIDIA GPU equipped with CUDA, and applied various optimization techniques, such as storing most frequently used data like subkeys and the F lookup table in the shared memory; and using coalesced access when reading data from the global memory. To our knowledge, this is the first result that implements and optimizes HIGHT on a GPU. We verified that the byte-slicing technique guarantees a speed-up of more than 20%, resulting a speed which is 31 times faster than that on a CPU.

Currently, Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning are rising as hot social issues, and these technologies are applied to various fields. A good method among the various algorithms in Artificial Intelligence is Convolutional Neural Networks. Convolutional Neural Network is a form that adds Convolution Layers to Multi Layer Neural Network. If you use Convolutional Neural Networks for small amount of data, or if the structure of layers is not complicated, you don't have to pay attention to speed. But the learning should take long time when the size of the learning data is large and the structure of layers is complicated. In these cases, GPU-based parallel processing is frequently needed. In this paper, we developed Convolutional Neural Networks using CUDA, and show that its learning is faster and more efficient than learning using some other frameworks or programs.

In this paper, we develop a fast view synthesis method that generates multiple intermediate views in real-time for the 3D display system when the camera geometry and depth map of reference views are given in advance. The proposed method achieves faster view synthesis than previous approaches in GPU by processing in parallel the entire computations required for the view synthesis. Specifically, we use $CUDA^{TM}$ (by NVIDIA) to control GPU device. For increasing the processing speed, we adapted all the processes for the view synthesis to single instruction multiple data (SIMD) structure that is a main feature of CUDA, maximized the use of the high-speed memories on GPU device, and optimized the implementation. As a result, we could synthesize 9 intermediate view images with the size of 720 by 480 pixels within 0.128 second.

The computing power of graphics processing units(GPU) has already surpassed that of CPU and the gap between their powers is getting wider. Thus, research on GPGPU which applies GPU to general purpose becomes popular and shows great success especially in the field of parallel data processing. Since the implementation of cryptographic algorithm using GPU was started by Cook et at. in 2005, improved results using graphic libraries such as OpenGL and DirectX have been published. In this paper, we present skills and results of implementing block ciphers using CUDA library announced by NVIDIA in 2007. Also, we discuss a general method converting source codes of block ciphers on CPU to those on GPU. On NVIDIA 8800GTX GPU, the resulting speeds of block cipher AES, ARIA, and DES are 4.5Gbps, 7.0Gbps, and 2.8Gbps, respectively which are faster than the those on CPU.

GPUs were originally designed for graphic processing, and GPGPUs are general-purpose GPUs for numerical computation with high performance and low electric power. In this paper, we implemented the parallel LU factorization program for GPGPUs. In CUDA, which is computational environment for Nvidia GPGPUs, domains are divided into blocks, and multi-threads compute each sub-blocks Simultaneously. In LU factorization program, computation order should be artificially decided due to the data dependence. To resolve the data dependancy, we suggested a parallel LU program for GPGPUs, and also explained parallel reduction algorithm for partial pivoting of LU factorization. We finally present performance analysis to show efficiency of the parallel LU factorization program based on multi-threads on GPGPUs.

GP-GPUs are general purposed GPUs for numerical computation based on multiple threads which are originally for graphic processing. GP-GPUs provide cache memory in a form of shared memory which user programs can access directly, unlikely typical cache memory. In this research, we implemented the parallel block LU decomposition program to utilize cache memory in GP-GPUs. The parallel blocked LU decomposition program designed with Nvidia CUDA C run 7~8 times faster than nun-blocked LU decomposition program in the same GP-GPU computation environment.
