Abstract

We present several algorithms to compute the solution of a linear system of equations on a GPU, as well as general techniques to improve their performance, such as padding and hybrid GPU-CPU computation. We also show how iterative refinement with mixed-precision can be used to regain full accuracy in the solution of linear systems. Experimental results on a G80 using CUBLAS 1.0, the implementation of BLAS for NVIDIA® GPUs with unified architecture, illustrate the performance of the different algorithms and techniques proposed. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
