Comments Off on TUB Paper Accepted at IPDPS 2017
The paper “E²MC: Entropy Encoding based Memory Compression for GPUs” by Sohan Lal, Jan Lucas and Ben Juurlink has been accepted for publication at 31st IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS) to be held in Orlando, Florida USA from May 29 – June 2, 2017. This paper proposes an entropy encoding based memory compression technique for GPUs. The proposed compression technique addressed the key challenges of probability estimation, choosing an appropriate symbol length for encoding, and decompression with low latency. It achieves higher compression ratio and performance gain compared to state of the art.

Comments Off on Reflecting on the 2nd PEGPUM Workshop at HiPEAC 2014
The LPGPU project organised the second LPGPU Workshop on Power-Efficient GPU and Manycore Computing (PEGPUM 2014) in conjunction with the HiPEAC 2014 Conference in Vienna on January the 20th, 2014. The main objective of the event was to foster dialogue and interaction among researchers from academia and industry working in aspects of low-power, heterogeneous many-core systems; including hardware architecture, programming models and software design.

Based on the succesful experience of last year’s PEGPUM 2013 in Berlin, the 2014 workshop was extended from a half-day to a full-day event, consisting on 12 presentations: 6 of them from partners of the LPGPU project; and the other 6 from external academic and industrial researchers.

- Biao Wang of TU Berlin
More than 70 people attended the workshop, and many fruitful online and offline discussions developed. Incidentally, the concept of colocating an EU project workshop with HiPEAC was pioneered by the earlier Peppher project.

This edition of the workshop helped to promote exciting developments in the LPGPU project among the industrial and academic delegates present; either at the workshop, at HiPEAC, or both. Highly engaged participants demonstrated an increasing level of interest in the research topics covered by the project.
