Accelerating software radio astronomy FX correlation with GPU and FPGA co-processors
… radio astronomy correlator using dedicated co-processors. Two co-processor implementations were made independently with one using reconfigurable hardware (Xilinx Virtex 4LXlOO) and the other uses a graphics processor (Nvidia 9800GT). The objective of a radio astronomy correlator is to compute …

Power Analysis and Prediction for Heterogeneous Computation
… computing (HPC) systems. These systems use graphics processing units (GPUs) for performance boost. In order to identify inexpensive-to-acquire and inexpensive-to-operate systems, it is important to do a systematic comparison of such systems with respect to power, performance and energy …

Pricing European options using Monte Carlo methods
European-style options are quite popular nowadays. Calculating their theo- retical price is not an easy task because there are many sources of uncertainty. However, we can model these uncertainties with random numbers. In this pa- per I discuss my implemention of two options-pricing programs using …

On the Programmability and Performance of OpenCL Designs for FPGA
… would enable them to match the pervasiveness of graphics processor units (GPUs), their principal competitors in this arena. One of the primary reasons responsible for the slow adaptation by programmers has been the programming model, which uses a low-level hardware description language (HDL). …
