Digital document file such as Adobe Acrobat or MS-Office is encrypted by its own ciphering algorithm with a user password. When this password is not known to a user or a forensic inspector, it is necessary to recover the password to open the encrypted file. Password cracking by brute-force search is a perfect approach to discover the password but a time consuming process. This paper presents a new method of speeding up password recovery on Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) using a Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). PDF files are chosen as a password cracking target, and the Abode Acrobat password recovery algorithm is examined. Experimental results show that the proposed method gives high performance at low cost, with a cluster of GPU nodes significantly speeding up the password recovery by exploiting a number of computing nodes. Password cracking performance is increased linearly in proportion to the number of computing nodes and GPUs.

Earliest virtual deadline zero laxity (EVDZL) algorithm is proposed for mobile GPU schedulers for its improved responsiveness. Responsiveness of user interface (UI) is one of the key factors in evaluating smart devices because of its significant impacts on user experiences. However, conventional GPU schedulers based on completely fair scheduling (CFS) shows a poor responsiveness due to its algorithmic complexity. In this letter, we present the EVDZL scheduler based on the conventional earliest deadline zero laxity (EDZL) algorithm by accommodating the virtual laxity concept into the scheduling. Experimental results show that the EVDZL scheduler improves the response time of the Android UI by 9.6% compared with the traditional CFS scheduler.

This paper presents a computationally efficient implementation of a Hamming code decoder on a graphics processing unit (GPU) to support real-time software-defined radio, which is a software alternative for realizing wireless communication. The Hamming code algorithm is challenging to parallelize effectively on a GPU because it works on sparsely located data items with several conditional statements, leading to non-coalesced, long latency, global memory access, and huge thread divergence. To address these issues, we propose an optimized implementation of the Hamming code on the GPU to exploit the higher parallelism inherent in the algorithm. Experimental results using a compute unified device architecture (CUDA)-enabled NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560, including 335 cores, revealed that the proposed approach achieved a 99x speedup versus the equivalent CPU-based implementation.

In this paper, we proposed a way to improve function of small scale GP-GPU. Instead of using superscalar which increase scheduling-complexity, we suggested the application of simple core to maximize GP-GPU performance. Our studies also demonstrated that simplified Stream Processor is one of the way to achieve functional improvement in GP-GPU. In addition, we found that developing of optimal thread-assigning method in Warp Scheduler for specific application improves functional performance of GP-GPU. For examination of GP-GPU functional performance, we suggested the thread-assigning way which coordinated with Deep-Learning system; a part of Neural Network. As a result, we found that functional index in algorithm of Neural Network was increased to 90%, 98% compared with Intel CPU and ARM cortex-A15 4 core respectively.

The ultrasound image uses ultrasonic pulses to receive the reflected waves and construct an image necessary for diagnosis. At this time, when the signal becomes weak, noise is generated and a slight difference in brightness occurs. In addition, fluctuation of image due to breathing phenomenon, which is the characteristic of ultrasound image, and change of motion in real time occurs. Such a noise is difficult to recognize and diagnose visually in the analysis process. In this paper, morphological features are automatically extracted by using image processing technique on ultrasound acquired images. In this paper, we implemented a GPU - based fast filter using a cloud big data processing platform for image processing. In applying the GPU - based high - performance filter, the algorithm was run with performance 4.7 times faster than CPU - based and the PSNR was 37.2dB, which is very similar to the original.

This paper is about an approach for pedestrian detection and tracking with infrared imagery. We used the CUDA(Computer Unified Device Architecture) that is a parallel processing language in order to improve the speed of video-based pedestrian detection and tracking. The detection phase is performed by Adaboost algorithm based on Haar-like features. Adaboost classifier is trained with datasets generated from infrared images. After detecting the pedestrian with the Adaboost classifier, we proposed a particle filter tracking strategies on HSV histogram feature that exploit adaptively at the same time. The proposed approach is implemented on an NVIDIA Jetson TK1 developer board that is full-featured device ideal for software development within the Linux environment. In this paper, we presented the results of parallel processing with the NVIDIA GPU on the CUDA development environment for detection and tracking of pedestrians. We compared the object detection and tracking processing time for night-time images on both GPU and CPU. The result showed that the detection and tracking speed of the pedestrian with GPU is approximately 6 times faster than that for CPU.

Mesh denoising is a method to remove noise applying various filters. However, those methods usually spend much time since filtering is performed on CPU. Because GPU is specialized for floating point operations and faster than CPU, real-time processing for complex operations is possible. Especially mesh denoising is adequate for GPU parallel processing since it repeats the same operations for vertices or triangles. In this paper, we propose mesh denoising algorithm based on bilateral filtering using GPU parallel processing to reduce processing time. It finds neighbor triangles of each vertex for applying bilateral filter, and computes its normal vector. Then it performs bilateral filtering to estimate new vertex position and to update its normal vector.

GPU를 이용한 병렬 알고리즘은 어떤 메모리를 사용하는지에 따라 시스템의 전체적인 성능이 달라진다. 본 논문은 GPU 환경에서 실행되는 CUDA 프레임워크에서 병렬처리를 이용하여 문서 분류 시스템의 속도를 향상시키고자 할 때 메모리 로딩 시간이 전체적인 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영항을 연구하였다. 기존의 CPU 환경에서 구현했을 때와 비교하여 어느 정도의 성능 향상이 있었는지 실험하였으며 이전 연구에서 고려하지 않았던 메모리를 읽는데 걸리는 시간을 고려하여 현실적인 실행 시간을 비교하였다. 실험 결과에 의하면 CPU 에서 구현했을 때의 연산 속도보다 GPU의 텍스쳐 메모리를 사용하여 구현하였을 때 문서분류 성능이 향상되는 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Stereo matching is the research area that regarding the estimation of the distance between objects and camera using different view points and it still needs lot of improvements in aspects of speed and accuracy. This paper presents a fast stereo matching algorithm based on plane-converging belief propagation that uses message passing convergence in hierarchical belief propagation. Also, stereo matching technique is developed using GPU and it is available for real-time applications. The error rate of proposed Plane-converging Belief Propagation algorithm is similar to the conventional Hierarchical Belief Propagation algorithm, while speed-up factor reaches 2.7 times.
