BACKGROUND Improvements in computing power can claim a large share of the credit for
many of the things that we take for granted in our modern lives: cellphones that are more …

GROMACS 3.0 is the latest release of a versatile and very well optimized package for
molecular simulation. Much effort has been devoted to achieving extremely high …

FFTW is an implementation of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) that adapts to the
hardware in order to maximize performance. This paper shows that such an approach can …

Over the last decade, we have seen a revolution in connectivity between computers, and a
resulting paradigm shift from centralized to highly distributed systems. With massive scale …

This paper describes the automatically tuned linear algebra software (ATLAS) project, as
well as the fundamental principles that underly it. ATLAS is an instantiation of a new …

The ever-growing computation and storage capability of mobile phones have given rise to
mobile-centric context recognition systems, which are able to sense and analyze the context …

This paper presents asymptotically optimal algorithms for rectangular matrix transpose, FFT,
and sorting on computers with multiple levels of caching. Unlike previous optimal algorithms …

Fast changing, increasingly complex, and diverse computing platforms pose central
problems in scientific computing: How to achieve, with reasonable effort, portable optimal …

Imagine an array with a massive (possibly uncountably infinite) number of antennas in a
compact space. We refer to a system of this sort as Holographic MIMO. Given the impressive …

Determining the best set of optimizations to apply to a kernel to be executed on the graphics
processing unit (GPU) is a challenging problem. There are large sets of possible …
