They have identified operations such as data compression and string search, which require significant CPU time on their system, as possible targets for this migration. The team designed and implemented a versatile GPU library that can execute these operations both on the CPU, and on the GPU using both CUDA and OpenCL frameworks. The team implemented and benchmarked six compression algorithms and a string search algorithm using the framework.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quantcast Corporation Computer Science, 2012-13 Liaison(s): Michael Kamprath, Silvius Rus, Esteban Molina-Estolano &#8217;06, Chauncey Brooks Advisor(s): Ran Libeskind-Hadas Students(s): Scott [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[140],"tags":[330],"class_list":["post-12366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-computer-science","tag-quantcast-corporation"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12366\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
