Accelerating electrostatic surface potential calculation with multi-scale approximation on graphics processing units.
Tools that compute and visualize biomolecular electrostatic surface potential have been used extensively for studying biomolecular function. However, determining the surface potential for large biomolecules on a typical desktop computer can take days or longer using currently available tools and methods. Two commonly used techniques to speed-up these types of electrostatic computations are appr...
متن کاملSystemic Computation Using Graphics Processors
Previous work created the systemic computer – a model of computation designed to exploit many natural properties observed in biological systems, including parallelism. The approach has been proven through two existing implementations and many biological models and visualizations. However to date the systemic computer implementations have all been sequential simulations that do not exploit the t...
متن کاملUsing Modern Graphics Processors for General Computation
The computational power of PC graphics processors has taken giant leaps forward in recent years. Instead of being simple line-drawing devices, these processors now often prove viable, and in fact superior, alternatives to regular CPUs when it comes to heavy computation.
متن کاملExperimental Fault-Tolerant Synchronization for Reliable Computation on Graphics Processors
Graphics processors (GPUs) are emerging as a promising platform for highly parallel, compute-intensive, general-purpose computations, which usually need support for inter-process synchronization. Using the traditional lock-based synchronization (e.g. mutual exclusion) makes the computation vulnerable to faults caused by both scientists’ inexperience and hardware transient errors. It is notoriou...
متن کاملAccelerating hierarchical acoustic likelihood computation on graphics processors
The paper presents a method for performance improvements of a speech recognition system by moving a part of the computation acoustic likelihood computation onto a Graphics Processor Unit (GPU). In the system, GPU operates as a low cost powerful coprocessor for linear algebra operations. The paper compares GPU implementation of two techniques of acoustic likelihood computation: full Gaussian com...
