October 1st
Reading Assignment : LU, QR, and Cholesky Factorizations Using Vector
Capabilities of GPUS

Matrix Multiply exploration - compile and evaluate the (lab1-
matrixmul, lab2-, and lab3)
- evaluate different sizes for BLOCK_SIZE
- gather execution time for BLOCK_SIZE
- compute GFLOPS
- use hardware performance counters to evaluate the change in number
of coalesced memory operations (loads/stores)

Scan exploration - compile and evaluate the SDK/projects/scan
(Note: the CPU version is built into the code module as:
computeGold, in scan_gold.cpp)
-evaluate various data sizes (see /scan/doc directory)

I've updated the lab permissions. Let me know if there are further
issues.

My vision for the semester project would be to have students work in a
domain of their own choosing or some example domains (below). I have
made the code available for 3 sets of applications at node402: /
scratch/ECE695/benchmarks


SPEC (LBM example from John Stratton)
Example project: convert an application to GPU

WRF (Weather Research and Forcasting)
Example project from John Mikalakes

Parboil (Set of GPU benchmarks from University of Illinois)

We'll talk more next week about the semester-end project and I will
send out some mail about the sorting example.

November 3rd- Monday class.


Project summary write-up. Write 1 page detailing the project you
would like to explore on either CUDA or multi-core systems.

You can email me your final summary by December 19th.

Thank you for a great semester. Thanks for your patience with the
material. Please attend the AMD talk on Monday
