基于ParaViewWeb架构的GPU高性能运算实现

GPU high-performance computing implementation based on Para View Web framework

针对智能手机、平板电脑等移动终端计算能力有限的问题,提出一种基于网络的通用计算服务平台。该平台以服务的方式为移动终端提供远程计算支持,增强其进行复杂运算的能力。利用Para View Web架构的可扩展性,将高性能GPU通用计算与Para View Web架构结合,在保留Para View Web原有的三维数据分析与可视化功能的基础上,扩展其远程调用服务器GPU运算资源的能力。选取医学图像滤波算法为实验对象,验证了该平台的有效性,结果表明对比本地应用,基于网络的应用取得了显著加速。

This paper presents a network-based general computing platform which provides computation as a service to enable the mobile terminals such as smart phones and tablet PCs to do complex computational work. Based on the expandability of Para View Web＇s framework, capabilities of high-performance general computing with GPUs are added while the original functions of 3-D data analysis and visualization are kept. Now the GPU computing resources of the server can be called remotely on this platform. The platform is tested with a medical image filtering application and the experimental result shows the significant acceleration of the web-based application compared to the locally running application.
