Team Members Kyle Byerly Shannon McCormick Matt Rohlf Bryan Venteicher Advisor Dr. Zhao Zhang High Performance Computing on an IBM Cell ProcessorBioinformatics
Functional Requirements • Ported applications shall run on the Cell/B.E. • Ported applications shall return the same results as the original applications • Ported applications shall return their running time for comparisons
Functional decomposition • Cannot be done at this time as we have not chosen the software we are porting.
Specifications • It should be able to be compiled on the Cell/B.E. and take advantage of the SPEs when applicable • When the user runs the program it shall seem no different other than perhaps faster than running it on any other computer. • Ported applications shall return their running time for comparisons in the same format as the BioPerf Suite
Proposed Design Method • Run a profiler on the code • Find hotspots • Find parallelizable hotspots • Parallelize for SPEs • Testing • Benchmark
