Haicheng Wu successfully defended his thesis on Nov 5, 2015. Congratulations Dr. Wu! The abstract of Haicheng’s thesis goes as follows: This thesis first maps the relational computation onto Graphics Processing Units (GPU)s by designing a series of tools and then explores the different opportunities of reducing the limitation brought by the memory hierarchy across the CPU and GPU system. First, a complete end-to-end compiler and runtime infrastructure, Red Fox, is proposed. The evaluation on the full set of industry standard TPC-H queries on a single node GPU shows on average Red Fox is...

Congratulations to Naila Farooqui on successfully defending her thesis “Runtime Specialization for Heterogeneous CPU-GPU Platforms”!

Posted by on Oct 23, 2015 in News | 0 comments

Naila Farooqui successfully defended her thesis on Oct 19, 2015. Congratulations Dr. Farooqui! The abstract of Naila’s thesis goes as follows: Heterogeneous parallel architectures like those comprised of CPUs and GPUs are a tantalizing compute fabric for performance-hungry developers. While these platforms enable order-of-magnitude performance increases for many data-parallel application domains, there remain several open challenges: (i) the distinct execution models inherent in the heterogeneous devices present on such platforms drive the need to dynamically match workload...
