Oded GreenEvents, OpenCL Leave a Comment

ArrayFire recently gave two webinar presentations to OpenCL developers as part of a joint webinar series with AMD. Due to popular demand for the first webinar, we ended up presenting a second! In case you missed it, here’s a recording of the webinar complete with the presentation and an informative Q&A session:  http://bit.ly/SkzIJs This webinar focused on enhancing productivity by using existing OpenCL libraries while achieving a high level of performance and maximizing system utilization. We demonstrated how our ArrayFire software library offers simple GPU programming with the benefit of awesome performance. In the webinar we showed how to use several image processing and computer vision building blocks in less than 3 lines of code.  The immediate takeaway message of …

ARM Showcases ArrayFire OpenCL Support for Mali GPU at Supercomputing ’13

ScottArrayFire, Events, OpenCL Leave a Comment

ARM showcased ArrayFire support for the Mali GPU at the Supercomputing ’13 conference recently held in Denver.  This exciting development caught the attention of many attendees as they viewed the ArrayFire demos running in the ARM and AccelerEyes exhibits.   Energy budgets are always constrained, and form an expensive component of any HPC system. ARM Mali GPUs provide the best performance and throughput for a given energy envelope. Partnering with ARM, AccelerEyes further reduces the cost of HPC by minimizing development time and costs. AccelerEyes offers the most productive software solutions for accelerating code using GPUs, coprocessors, and OpenCL devices.  AccelerEyes delivers ArrayFire to accelerate C, C++, and Fortran codes on CUDA and OpenCL devices.  ArrayFire customers come from a wide range …

Median Filtering: CUDA tips and tricks

ArrayFireCUDA, Events 4 Comments

Last week we posted a video recording from NVIDIA’s GTC09 conference. In the video, I walked through median filtering, presenting the vanilla implementation and then walking through progressive CUDA optimizations. A comment on that post suggested trying some other compiler flags, and it sparked a new series of experiments. In the original video, we started with a vanilla CPU implementation of 3×3 median filtering. We then ported this to the GPU to realize some immediate gains, but then we started a string of optimizations to see how far we could drive up performance: switching to textured memory, switching to shared memory, switching the internal sorting of pixels, etc. The conclusion: pay attention to the resource usage reported by nvcc (registers, …
