Parallelization of SIFT on Rigel
… the SIFT algorithm to the many-core architecture Rigel and studied the amount of speedup that can be gained by parallelizing the algorithm. Our results showed the algorithm to provide a speedup of 75x when parallelized over 128 cores.

Techniques to maximize memory bandwidth on the Rigel compute accelerator
The Rigel compute accelerator has been developed to explore alternative architectures for massively parallel processor chips. Currently GPUs that use wide SIMD are the primary implementations in this space. Many applications targeted to this space are performance limited by the memory all, so …

Design and implementation of a floating point unit for rigel, a massively parallel accelerator
… of massively parallel architectures like Rigel creates new challenges and poses new questions with respect to floating point support. The massively parallel aspect of Rigel places great emphasis on area efficient, low power designs. At the same time, Rigel is a general purpose accelerator …

Cache design exploration in a general purpose massively parallel architecture
… applications present. This thesis will focus on Rigel, a 1024-core, general purpose massively parallel architecure. I will study the memory model design tradeoffs of the Rigel cluster, a subblock of the Rigel architecure, and attempt to propose a design configuration that is suitable to the …

The Portal of Orion
… a science fiction novel that centers on Rigel Barnard, a novice inventor who has been in self-isolation for years after a failed college presentation caused his friend and work partner, Jericho Slate, to be transported into another universe. Rigel is currently trying to bring his friend …

Achieving performance portability across parallel accelerator architectures
… can improve the performance of CUDA code on Rigel, a MIMD accelerator architecture currently under development. Source-level optimizations can produce code for Rigel that runs significantly faster than naïve translations. In some cases, benchmarks run nearly four times faster, rivaling the …

Multithreaded architectures for manycore throughput processors
… model.To address this opportunity,we present Rigel, a single-chip accelerator architecture with 1024 independent processing cores targeted at a broad class of data- and task-parallel computation. Enabled by the feasibility of large die sizes combined with increasing transistor densities, we …

An evaluation framework for massively parallel accelerator processors
… thesis, I describe the evaluation framework for Rigel, a 1024-core single-chip accelerator architecture designed for high throughput on visual computing and scientific workloads. I present an integrated evaluation framework for investigating co-designed architecture, compilers, programming …

Modeling sea surface height in the Gulf of Mexico
A model was created to form synthetic plots of sea surface height (SSH) from monthly SSH statistics in the Gulf of Mexico generated from satellite laser altimetry data. SSH is a signal of the upper ocean mixed layer heat content and is an input for hurricane intensity models. A significant ocean …
