For those of you interested in neuroscience and neuroimaging, you have probably heard of a software capability called SPM or Statistical Parametric Mapping developed by a group at University College London. Well, a group at Georgia Tech has been doing some work with Jacket and CUDA on SPM and have produced some initial results that show some promise. Being able to speed up the image analysis of functional MRI can benefit the medical community in a big way. AccelerEyes has been supporting these efforts at Georgia Tech and with the permission of the authors we have produced an initial look at their work. Enjoy. http://www.accelereyes.com/resources/spm-fmri
How long does it take to get 98X performance improvement with GPUs?
Well, here is a recent story with one of our customers that accomplished 98X performance speed up with Jacket in 16 days. Of the 16 days, 15 days were spent sending emails back and forth about the problem and less than a day was spent getting the customer code in Jacket and running some performance tests! Who would have imagined GPU programming with performance in 1 day. Happy Reading. Day 1: Customer uses inverse radon (or iradon in MATLAB terms) extensively for their back projection algorithms. They would like to know when the iradon function will be available/supported in Jacket. AccelerEyes product management informs the customer that the inverse radon algorithm used in MATLAB is based on the filtered back …
