Abstract
Technological disruption has periodically re-invigorated the field of high performance computation, opening up new application domains and problem solving algorithms, together with novel software techniques for implementing them.
A recent disruption, the Graphical Processing Unit (GPU), has brought high performance parallel processing to everyone's finger tips. However,this opportunity comes at the cost increased application development costs associated with managing hardware specific implementation details.
In this talk I will present results from various GPU-enabled applications developed in my research group, discussing the opportunities offered by the technology along with its limitations. I'll conclude by outlining new research directions currently under investigation.
