GPU通用计算及其在计算智能领域的应用
A review on general purpose computing on GPUs and its applications in computational intelligence
摘要
Abstract
The GPU enjoys the characteristics of high parallelism , low energy consumption and cheap price .Com-pared with the traditional CPU platform , it is especially suitable for tasks with high data parallelism .GPU compu-ting has come into the mainstream of high performance computation ( HPC) due to the emerging of development platforms like CUDA and OpenCL .The GPU's enormous computational power greatly promotes computational intel-ligence .A great success has been achieved in the fields such as deep learning and swarm intelligence optimization , and several breakthroughs have been seen in image , and speech recognition because of GPU .Though suffering some drawbacks, GPUs provide common people and small institutions with enormous computing power .This has changed the set-up of scientific computing and programming model because it could only be provided by expensive super -computers.To help researchers in the field of computational intelligence better utilize GPUs , a detailed survey of GPGPU is given in this paper. First, the characteristics and advantages of GPUs against CPUs are presented .Then we briefly review the development of GPU hardware followed by a survey of the evolution of development tools for GPGPU;special attention is drawn to two major platforms , CUDA and OpenCL .We end this paper with our per-spectives of the challenges and trends of GPGPU .We point out that embedding and cluster are two major trends for GPGPU and as both academia and industry continue to see increasing progress in artificial intelligence , the GPU will be more widely used in more domains .关键词
