Abstract
Pipelined wavefront applications form a large portion of the high performance scientific computing workloads at supercomputing centres. This paper investigates the viability of graphics processing units (GPUs) for the acceleration of these codes, using NVIDIA's Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). We identify the optimisations suitable for this new architecture and quantify the characteristics of those wavefront codes that are likely to experience speedups.
