This work presents a multi-objective design space exploration for Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). For any given GPGPU application, a Pareto front of best suited GPUs can be calculated. The objectives can be chosen according to the demands of the system, for example energy efficiency, run time and real-time capability. The simulated GPUs can be desktop, high performance or mobile versions. Also GPUs that do not yet exist can be modeled and simulated. The main application area for the presented approach is the identification of suitable GPU hardware for given medical or industrial applications, e.g. for real-time process control or in healthcare sensor environments. As use case a real-time capable medical biosensor program for an automatic detection of pathogens and a wide variety of industrial, biological and physical applications were evaluated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
