Research on OpenMP and OpenCL Technologies Performance

Comparison of OpenMP & OpenCL Parallel Processing Technologies

This paper presents a comparison of OpenMP and OpenCL based on the parallel implementation of algorithms from various fields of computer applications. The focus of our study is on the performance of benchmark comparing OpenMP and OpenCL. We observed that OpenCL programming model is a good option for mapping threads on different processing cores. Balancing all available cores and allocating suff...

Benchmarking OpenCL, OpenACC, OpenMP, and CUDA: programming productivity, performance, and energy consumption

Many modern parallel computing systems are heterogeneous at their node level. Such nodes may comprise general purpose CPUs and accelerators (such as, GPU, or Intel Xeon Phi) that provide high performance with suitable energy-consumption characteristics. However, exploiting the available performance of heterogeneous architectures may be challenging. There are various parallel programming framewo...

Parallelization of DIRA and CTmod using OpenMP and OpenCL

Performance of OpenCL

OpenCL is a relatively new standard that supports computation on a variety of parallel architectures. The author was unable to find reliable information about performance of OpenCL programs on CPU’s in comparison to traditional parallel processing standards like OpenMP. This paper describes the results of an experiment that tries to answer the following question: “Which standard performs better...

Improving Performance of OpenCL on CPUs

Data-parallel languages like OpenCL and CUDA are an important means to exploit the computational power of today’s computing devices. In this paper, we deal with two aspects of implementing such languages on CPUs: First, we present a static analysis and an accompanying optimization to exclude code regions from control-flow to dataflow conversion, which is the commonly used technique to leverage ...
