SpMV: A Memory-Bound Application on the GPU Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place
In this paper, we investigate the relative merits between GPGPUs and multicores in the context of sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMV). While GPGPUs possess impressive capabilities in terms of raw compute throughput and memory bandwidth, their performance varies significantly with application tuning as well as sparse input and format characteristics. Furthermore, several emerging technolo...
متن کاملVibrio cholerae biofilms: stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Vibrio cholerae is a diarrheal pathogen and a natural inhabitant of freshand saltwater environments. Seasonal outbreaks in areas of endemicity that can develop into worldwide pandemics are linked to the persistence of V. cholerae in aquatic ecosystems, providing a reservoir for the initiation of new cholera epidemics via human ingestion of contaminated food or water (7). Biofilm formation is de...
متن کاملDesigning multi-well layout for enhanced geothermal system to better exploit hot dry rock geothermal energy
Heat extraction mode, e.g. well layout or arrangement of wells, of enhanced or engineered geothermal system (EGS) is crucial to its performance and directly affects its commercial viability. Assuming the subsurface target hot dry rock (HDR) has been well-fractured and the created heat reservoir can be treated as a homogeneous porous medium, we numerically simulate the long-term heat extraction ...
متن کاملFracture Network Modeling of a Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Reservoir
Fluid flow and tracer transport in a fractured Bot Dry Rock (HDR) geothermal reservoir are modeled using fracture network modeling techniques. The steady state pressure and flow fields are solved for a two-dimensional, interconnected network of fractures with no-flow outer boundaries and constant-pressure source and sink points to simulate wellbore-fracture intersections. The tracer response is...
متن کاملBetween a rock and a healthy place.
The Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 consolidated all federal health and safety regulations of the mining industry-coal as well as noncoal mining-under a single mandate administered by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). Today, the agency is striving to reduce the environmental health risks associated with mining.
