In spite of powerful computation capability of parallel hardware, paralleled P/G solvers are far from prevailing, especially on complicated special hardware. We anticipated it, and studied on parallelizing and accelerating P/G solvers on GPU. In our work, we developed a PCG(Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient)-based P/G solver on the CUDA platform for structured P/G network, and identified advantages as well as constraints from GPU architecture. Our PCG-GPU solver can be up to 40 times faster than SuperLU, and also outperform multi-grid based solver on GPU.","PeriodicalId":446584,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE 8th International Conference on ASIC","volume":"189 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134634968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During mapping process, we first allocate adequate CMOL cell resources and then randomly map the gates to the CMOL cells, which can satisfy the architecture demand and require no overlap between cells. Then we adjust the gates by interchanging and inserting buffers for long distance gate pair.

The training set contains less than a few tens samples which are selected from predefine bias points that are closed to the desired biquad requirement. To limit training time, the less complex ANN is recommended. Feasibility of a biquad requirement is easily indicated by observing the maximum error of the worst element in an initial training set. A second-order bandpass requirement, centered at 406.2 MHz, is successfully tuned as a sample. The proposed feasibility analysis and tuning process are tested with one hundred random bandpass requirements. As there is no indication of type-I and type-II errors, the proposed process is considered very efficient1.","PeriodicalId":446584,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE 8th International Conference on ASIC","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124100436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
