	SCHEDULE: NOV 11-17, 2006 Performance Evaluation of GPUs Using the RapidMind Development Platform Session: Poster Reception Event Type: Poster Time: 5:15pm - 7:15pm Author(s): Michael D. McCool, Kevin Wadleigh, Brent Henderson, Hsin-Ying Lin Location: Ballroom Corridor Abstract: The high-performance parallel processors in video accelerators, GPUs, can be used as numerical co-processors in a variety of applications. The RapidMind Development Platform is a software development system that allows the developer to use standard C++ programming to easily create high-performance and massively parallel applications that run on the GPU. Using the RapidMind platform, we compare the performance of FFT, BLAS dense matrix multiplication, and quasi-Monte Carlo option pricing benchmarks on the GPU against highly tuned CPU implementations. The advantages and limitations of GPU acceleration are discussed as well as techniques for optimizing performance. Chair/Author Details: Michael D.
