1. 26. Massively Parallel BVH Construction Using Mini-trees

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Erik Nossborn; [2016]
   Keywords : BVH; computer graphics; GPU; CUDA; ray tracing; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The Bounding Volume Hierarchy is an acceleration data structure used in ray tracing, allowing for faster intersection tests between rays and triangles. The goal of this thesis was to take one algorithm for rapidly generating such data structures, the Bonsai algorithm, which was initially implemented on a CPU, and instead implement it on a graphics processing unit.

3. 27. Pricing of American Options by Adaptive Tree Methods on GPUs

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskap

   Author : Jacob Lundgren; [2015]
   Keywords : GPU; Graphics Processing Unit; American Options; Computer Hardware; High Performance Computing; Computational Finance; Scientific Computing; Mathematical Finance; Parallel Programming;

   Abstract : An assembled algorithm for pricing American options with absolute, discrete dividends using adaptive lattice methods is described. Considerations for hardware-conscious programming on both CPU and GPU platforms are discussed, to provide a foundation for the investigation of several approaches for deploying the program onto GPU architectures.

4. 28. GPU Simulation of Rigid Fibers

   University essay from KTH/Numerisk analys, NA

   Author : Erik Wolter; [2015]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The major objective of this Master's thesis is to accelerate a serial implementation of a numerical algorithm for the simulation of slender fiber dynamics by using Graphical Processing Units (GPU). We focus on rigid fibers sedimenting due to gravity in a free-space Stokes flow. READ MORE

5. 29. Evaluating Vivado High-Level Synthesis on OpenCV Functions for the Zynq-7000 FPGA

   University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

   Author : Henrik Johansson; [2015]
   Keywords : FPGA; OpenCV; Zynq-7000; Vivado HLS; Vivado; High Level Synthesis; HLS; Computer Vision; Xilinx; System on Chip; SoC; GIMME-2; Stereo Vision; Harris;

   Abstract : More complex and intricate Computer Vision algorithms combined with higher resolution image streams put bigger and bigger demands on processing power. CPU clock frequencies are now pushing the limits of possible speeds, and have instead started growing in number of cores. READ MORE

6. 30. Accelerating a Movie Recommender System Using VirtualCL on a Heterogeneous GPU Cluster : Big Data Analysis Using Distributed Accelerators

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för informations- och kommunikationsteknik (ICT)

   Author : Ashish Bhatnagar; [2014]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Present day market offers a large number of movies which overwhelm people with choices. In order to quickly navigate through all the possible movies and find the interesting ones, the user can take advantage of recommender systems for movies. This thesis studies a movie recommender system which uses image processing and computer vision algorithms. READ MORE
