그래픽 처리 장치(GPU: Graphic Processing Units)는 그래픽 처리에 특화된 수많은 산술논리연산자 (ALU: Arithmetic Logic Unit)와 이에 관련된 인스트럭션Instruction)으로 인해 중앙 처리 장치(CPU: Central Processing Units) 보다 훨씬 빠른 계산 처리를 수행할 수 있다. 최근에는 FORTRAN에 의해 구현된 많은 수치모형들이 현실적인 모델링 방법의 발달로 인해 더 많은 계산량과 계산시간을 필요로 한다. 이 연구에서는 GPU 상의 범용 계산GPGPU : General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units) 기반 운동파 강우유출모형(Kinematic Wave Rainfall-Runoff Model)이 CUDA(Compute Unified Device Architecture) FORTRAN을 사용하여 구현되었다. CUDA FORTRAN 운동파 강우유출모형의 계산 결과는 검증된 CPU 기반 운동파 강우유출모형의 계산 결과와 비교하여 검증되었으며, 잘 일치함을 보여 주었다. CUDA FORTRAN 운동파 강우유출모형은 CPU 기반 모형에 비해 약 20 배 더 빠른 계산 시간을 보였다. 또한 계산 영역이 커짐에 따라 CPU 버전에 비해 CUDA FORTRAN 버전의 계산 효율이 향상되었다.

This paper presents incompressible Navier-Stokes solution algorithm for 2D Free-surface flow problems on the Cartesian mesh, which was implemented to run on Graphics Processing Units(GPU). The INS solver utilizes the variable arrangement on the Cartesian mesh, Finite Volume discretization along Constrained Interpolation Profile-Conservative Semi-Lagrangian(CIP-CSL). Solution procedure of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for free-surface flow takes considerable amount of computation time and memory space even in modern multi-core computing architecture based on Central Processing Units(CPUs). By the recent development of computer architecture technology, Graphics Processing Unit(GPU)'s scientific computing performance outperforms that of CPU's. This paper focus on the utilization of GPU's high performance computing capability, and presents an efficient solution algorithm for free surface flow simulation. The performance of the GPU implementations with double precision accuracy is compared to that of the CPU code using an representative free-surface flow problem, namely. dam-break problem.

There have been lots of researches on a multi-core processor. The enhancement has been performed through parallelization method. Multi-core architecture in the mobile environment has emerged. But, there is a limit to a mobile CPU's performance. GP-GPU(General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units) can improve performance without adding other dedicated hardware. This paper presents the implementation of Inverse Quantization, Inverse DCT and Color Space Conversion module in H.264/AVC decoder using Multi-Core GP-GPU for a mobile environments. The proposed architecture improves approximately 50% of performance when it use all the features.

To meet the scalability and performance requirements of data analyses, which often involve voluminous data, efficient parallel or concurrent algorithms and frameworks are essential. We present a high-performance Korean morphological analyzer which employs the MapReduce framework on the graphics processing unit (GPU). MapReduce is a programming framework introduced by Google to aid the development of web search applications on a large number of central processing units (CPUs). GPUs are designed as a special-purpose co-processor. Their programming interfaces are typically formulated for graphics applications. Compared to CPUs, GPUs have greater computation power and memory bandwidth; however, GPUs are more difficult to program because of the design of their architectures. The performance of the Korean morphological analyzer using the MapReduce framework on the GPU is evaluated in comparison with the CPU-based model. The proposed Korean Morphological analyzer shows promising scalable performance on distributed computing with the GPU.

In a database system, the most expensive operation among relational operations is a join operation. Generally, CPU-based join operations uses parallel processing with either 1 core or 16 cores at most, which does not significantly improve the function. On the other hand, GPGPU(General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units) allows parallel processing through thousands of processing units, greatly reducing the time required to perform join operations. Parallelization of the operation using GPGPU uses NVIDIA's CUDA SDK. In this paper, we implement parallelization of the join operation using GPGPU and compare the performances. The used join operations are Nested Loop Join (NLJ), Sort Merge Join (SMJ) and Hash Join (HJ), and GPGPU equipment uses TITAN Xp, GTX 1080 Ti and GTX 1080. We measure and compare the performance of join operations based on CPU and GPGPU. We compare this performance with the performance of the previous study on the join operation based on GPGPU. The results of experiment show that the performance based on GPGPU is 6~328 times faster than the one based on CPU.

Recently, parallel computing using GPGPU(General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units) according to the development of the graphics processing unit is expanding. This can be achieved through the processing speeds faster than traditional computing environments across many fields, including science, medicine, engineering, and analysis. However, in using the GPU technology to implement the a parallel program there are many constraints. In this paper, we port a CPU-based program(Video Quality Measurement Program) to use technology. The program ported to GPU-based show about 1.83 times the execution speed than CPU-based program. We study on the acceleration of the GPU-based program. Also we discuss the technical constraints and problems that occur when you modify the CPU to the GPU-based programs.

ES (Electronic Warfare Support System) collects radar signals, and analyzes the signals about frequency, pulse width, PRI (Pulse Repetition Interval), and etc. and then ES compares analyzed result with known radar signals to identify them. But there are two disadvantage. One is that use of known radar signals is in comparing step only. The other is that calculating PRI needs many operations. In this paper proposes a parallel reference correlation algorithm that uses GPGPU (General Purpose Graphics Processing Units) and can identify what signals are in received radar signals without calculating PRI.

Compression is a very important technique for remotely sensed hyperspectral images. The lossless compression based on the recursive least square (RLS), which eliminates hyperspectral images' redundancy using both spatial and spectral correlations, is an extremely powerful tool for this purpose, but the relatively high computational complexity limits its application to time-critical scenarios. In order to improve the computational efficiency of the algorithm, we optimize its serial version and develop a new parallel implementation on graphics processing units (GPUs). Namely, an optimized recursive least square based on optimal number of prediction bands is introduced firstly. Then we use this approach as a case study to illustrate the advantages and potential challenges of applying GPU parallel optimization principles to the considered problem. The proposed parallel method properly exploits the low-level architecture of GPUs and has been carried out using the compute unified device architecture (CUDA). The GPU parallel implementation is compared with the serial implementation on CPU. Experimental results indicate remarkable acceleration factors and real-time performance, while retaining exactly the same bit rate with regard to the serial version of the compressor.

General-purpose graphics processing units (GPGPUs) provide tremendous computational and processing power. Despite the latency hiding mechanism, a GPU architecture requires high memory bandwidth and lower latency between computational units and the memory system. For this reason, the current GPU architecture has private L1 caches in each core and a shared L2 cache to increase performance by reducing memory latency. But in some cases, this CPU-like cache design is not suitable for GPGPUs. In this paper, we analyze detailed cache performance related to GPGPU application characteristics, and suggest technical alternatives for the GPGPU architecture as future work.
