Graphics processing units and genetic programming: an overview
نویسنده
چکیده
A top end graphics card (GPU) plus a suitable SIMD interpreter, can deliver a several hundred fold speed up, yet cost less than the computer holding it. We give highlights of AI and computational intelligence applications in the new field of general purpose computing on graphics hardware (GPGPU). In particular we survey genetic programming (GP) use with GPU. We give several applications from Bioinformatics and show how the fastest GP is based on an interpreter rather than compilation. Finally using GP to generate GPU CUDA kernel C++ code is sketched.

متن کاملHardware Acceleration for CGP: Graphics Processing Units
Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) are fast, highly parallel units. In addition to processing 3D graphics, modern GPUs can be programmed for more general-purpose computation. A GPU consists of a large number of ‘shader processors’, and conceptually operates as a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) or multiple instruction multiple data (MIMD) stream processor. A modern GPU can have several hund...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of a Lead-Acid Battery Discharge Process using a Developed Framework on Graphic Processing Units
In the present work, a framework is developed for implementation of finite difference schemes on Graphic Processing Units (GPU). The framework is developed using the CUDA language and C++ template meta-programming techniques. The framework is also applicable for other numerical methods which can be represented similar to finite difference schemes such as finite volume methods on structured grid...
متن کاملAccelerating Genetic Programming through Graphics Processing Units
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are in the process of becoming a major source of computational power for numerical applications. Originally designed for application of time-consuming graphics operations, GPUs are stream processors that implement the SIMD paradigm. The true degree of parallelism of GPUs is often hidden from the user, making programming even more flexible and convenient. In this...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effects of Hardware Parameters on Power Consumptions in SPMV Algorithms on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)
Although Sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SPMVs) algorithms are simple, they include important parts of Linear Algebra algorithms in Mathematics and Physics areas. As these algorithms can be run in parallel, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) has been considered as one of the best candidates to run these algorithms. In the recent years, power consumption has been considered as one of the metr...
