• A Portable and Adaptable Fault Tolerance Solution for Heterogeneous Applications 

      Losada, Nuria; Fraguela, Basilio B.; González, Patricia; Martín, María J. (Academic Press, 2017-06)
      [Abstract] Heterogeneous systems have increased their popularity in recent years due to the high performance and reduced energy consumption capabilities provided by using devices such as GPUs or Xeon Phi accelerators. This ...
    • An automatic optimizer for heterogeneous devices 

      Fernández-Fabeiro, Jorge; Andrade, Diego; Fraguela, Basilio B.; Doallo, Ramón (Elsevier, 2020-05)
      [Abstract]: Codes written in a naive way seldom effectively exploit the computing resources, while writing optimized codes is usually a complex task that requires certain levels of expertise. This problem is further increased ...
    • Developing adaptive multi-device applications with the Heterogeneous Programming Library 

      Viñas Buceta, Moisés; Bozkus, Zeki; Fraguela, Basilio B.; Andrade, Diego; Doallo, Ramón (Springer, 2015)
      [Abstract] The usage of heterogeneous devices presents two main problems. One is their complex programming, a problem that grows when multiple devices are used. The second issue is that even if the codes for these devices ...
    • Exploiting Heterogeneous Parallelism With the Heterogeneous Programming Library 

      Viñas Buceta, Moisés; Bozkus, Zeki; Fraguela, Basilio B. (Elsevier, 2013)
      [Abstract] While recognition of the advantages of heterogeneous computing is steadily growing, the issues of programmability and portability hinder its exploitation. The introduction of the OpenCL standard was a major step ...
    • Facilitating the development of stencil applications using the Heterogeneous Programming Library 

      Viñas Buceta, Moisés; Fraguela, Basilio B.; Andrade, Diego; Doallo, Ramón (2017)
      [Abstract] Stencil computations are very common in scientific codes. Heterogeneous systems achieve good results solving these problems, but their programming is complex because of the ghost regions required in multi-device ...
    • General‐purpose computation on GPUs for high performance cloud computing 

      Expósito, Roberto R.; Taboada, Guillermo L.; Ramos Garea, Sabela; Touriño, Juan; Doallo, Ramón (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2013-08)
      [Abstract] Cloud computing is offering new approaches for High Performance Computing (HPC) as it provides dynamically scalable resources as a service over the Internet. In addition, General‐Purpose computation on Graphical ...
    • GPU Accelerated Molecular Docking Simulation with Genetic Algorithms 

      Altuntas, Serkan; Bozkus, Zeki; Fraguela, Basilio B. (Springer, Cham, 2016)
      [Abstract] Receptor-Ligand Molecular Docking is a very computationally expensive process used to predict possible drug candidates for many diseases. A faster docking technique would help life scientists to discover better ...
    • Heterogeneous distributed computing based on high-level abstractions 

      Viñas Buceta, Moisés; Fraguela, Basilio B.; Andrade, Diego; Doallo, Ramón (2018)
      [Abstract]: The rise of heterogeneous systems has given place to great challenges for users as they involve new concepts, restrictions, and frameworks. Their exploitation is further complicated in the context of distributed ...
    • High Productivity Multi-device Exploitation with the Heterogeneous Programming Library 

      Viñas Buceta, Moisés; Fraguela, Basilio B.; Andrade, Diego; Doallo, Ramón (Elsevier, 2016)
      [Abstract] Heterogeneous devices require much more work from programmers than traditional CPUs, particularly when there are several of them, as each one has its own memory space. Multidevice applications require to distribute ...
    • Implementation of a motion estimation algorithm for Intel FPGAs using OpenCL 

      Castro, Manuel de; Osorio, Roberto; López Vilariño, David; González-Escribano, Arturo; Llanos, Diego R. (Springer, 2023)
      [Abstract]: Motion Estimation is one of the main tasks behind any video encoder. It is a computationally costly task; therefore, it is usually delegated to specific or reconfigurable hardware, such as FPGAs. Over the years, ...
    • Parallelization of shallow water simulations on current multi-threaded systems 

      Lobeiras Blanco, Jacobo; Viñas Buceta, Moisés; Amor, Margarita; Fraguela, Basilio B.; Arenaz Silva, Manuel; García Rodríguez, José Antonio; Castro, M.J. (SAGE Journals, 2013-11)
      [Abstract]: In this work, several parallel implementations of a numerical model of pollutant transport on a shallow water system are presented. These parallel implementations are developed in two phases. First, the sequential ...
