High-performance code generation for stencil computations on GPU architectures
Justin Holewinski, Louis-Noël Pouchet, Ponnuswamy Sadayappan · 2012
Stencil computations arise in many scientific computing domains, and often represent time-critical portions of applications. There is significant interest in offloading these computations to high-performance devices such as GPU accelerators, but these architectures offer challenges for developers and compilers alike. Stencil computations in particular require careful attention to off-chip memory access and the balancing of work among compute units in GPU devices.
