What would you like to share| Experience with mapping the gridding algorithm used in radio astronomy onto GPUs
My pitch|Traditionally algorithms are designed to compute a result in as few compute operations as possible. Mapping such algorithms onto massively parallel hardware leads to sub-optimal performance, because memory access, not computation, is the limiting factor. Redesigning algorithms to reduce memory access, even if this leads to an increase in the number of operations by a large factor, can result in better performance.
Questions for the community| Are there more algorithms out there that, on modern hardware, are limited by memory access? Let's discuss whether these can be transformed into less memory, but more compute intensive algorithms.
