  4. Map Projection • Establish the relationship between two different coordinate systems. • geographical coordinates → planar cartesian map space coordinate system • Complicated and time consuming arithmetic operations. • Fast answer with desired accuracy→ Slow exact answer • It's need to be accelerated for interactive GIS scenarios. Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  5. GPGPU(The general purpose computing on graphics processing units) • GPGPU is a young area of research. • Advantage of GPU • Flexibility • Power processing • Low cost • GPGPU in applications other than 3D graphics • GPU accelerates critical path of application Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  6. CUDA(Common Unified Device Architecture) • NVIDIA's parallel computing architecture • C base programming language and development toolkit • Advantage: • Programmer can focus on the important issues rather than an unfamiliar language • No need of graphics APIs and write efficient parallel code Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  7. The characteristic of Map Projection • Huge amount of coordinates to handle • The complexity of arithmetic operations • The requirement of a realtime response Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  8. Our proposals • using the new technology CUDA on the GPU • Take Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection as an example • Performance: • Improvement of up to 6x to 8x • (include transfer time) • Speed up 70x to 90x • (not include transfer time) Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  10. Algorithm framework Striped partitioning Matrix distribution Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  11. Striped partitioning • Define the number of block and thread: • Block_num,Thread_num • CUDA built-in parameters: • GridDim, BlockDim • Geographic feature number: • fn • Each block runs features: • fn/GridDim.x Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  12. Striped partitioning • For surrounding loop: • Blocks and features • Block → Feature[i] • i = blockidx.x*(fn/GridDim.x) (1) • Block → next Feature[k] • k = i + fn/GridDim.x (2) • For inner loop: • Threads and coordinates • thread→coord[j] • j = threadIdx.x • thread→next coord[k] • k = j +Thread_num Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  13. Striped partitioning • For surrounding loop: • Blocks and features • Block → Feature[i] • i = blockidx.x*(fn/GridDim.x) • Block → next Feature[k] • k = i + fn/GridDim.x • For inner loop: • Threads and coordinates • thread→coord[j] • j = threadIdx.x (1) • thread→next coord[k] • k = j +Thread_num (2) Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  14. Matrix distribution • Define the number of block and thread: • grid(br,bc), block(tr,tc) • Each block run k features, where: • (1) • Feature[i]: • (2) • (3) Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  15. Matrix distribution • Each block run s coordnates, where: (1) • coord[j]: Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Experiment Environment • Hardware: • CPU: Intel Core2 Duo CPU E8500 at 3.18GHz with 2GB of internal memory • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ graphics card which has 512MB memory, 128 CUDA cores and 16 multiprocessors • Software: • Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2 • Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 • NVIDIA driver 2.2, CUDA sdk 2.2 and CUDA toolkit 2.2 Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  18. The data parallel degree • total CPU time : • initialization and file reading time • serial projection time Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  19. The data parallel degree • total CPU time : • initialization and file reading time • serial projection time Map projection can achieve more than 90 percent of parallelism. Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  20. Comparing with CPU • Block_num=64 Thread_num=512 Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  21. Comparing with CPU • Total time = map projection time + data transfer time Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  22. Comparing with CPU • If consider the total time, the performance can obtain 6x to 8x. Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  23. Comparing with CPU • If only compare map projection time, we can obtain 70x to 90x speedups. Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  24. The performance of different task assignments • striped partitioning : • Block_num=64, Thread_num=512 • matrix distribution: • dim_grid(32,32) = 32*32 blocks • dim_block(256,256) = 256*256 threads Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  25. The performance of different task assignments • striped partitioning : • Block_num=64, Thread_num=512 • matrix distribution: • dim_grid(32,32) = 32*32 blocks • dim_block(256,256) = 256*256 threads Striped: 6x to 8x Matrix: 4x to 6x Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences
