APU Performance Evaluation for Accelerating Computationally Expensive Workloads
APUs (Accelerated Processing Units) are widely available in personal computers as low-cost processors that have a CPU and an integrated GPU for displaying graphics, in the same die. Using a ray tracing algorithm as a computationally intensive workload and taking advantage of the APU specific characteristics, we compare the performance of this SoC against CPU and GPU solutions in the same price range.
期刊介绍:
ENTCS is a venue for the rapid electronic publication of the proceedings of conferences, of lecture notes, monographs and other similar material for which quick publication and the availability on the electronic media is appropriate. Organizers of conferences whose proceedings appear in ENTCS, and authors of other material appearing as a volume in the series are allowed to make hard copies of the relevant volume for limited distribution. For example, conference proceedings may be distributed to participants at the meeting, and lecture notes can be distributed to those taking a course based on the material in the volume.
