Automatization of Analysis of Performance and Power Consumption
Rudolf, Tomáš ; Jaroš, Jiří (referee) ; Nikl, Vojtěch (advisor)
This thesis deals with increasing efficiency of supercomputers. Higher efficiency can be achieved by reducing frequency of processor if the algorithm does not slow down significantly. This thesis presents set of scripts designed to monitor consumption of processor along with scripts that visualize these measured values. It also allows easy control of processor frequency. The created solution gives user a capability to measure given algorithm efficiency and optimize computing power of specific computer exactly for the algorithm. Due to this work the user will be informed about whether it is advantageous to run his algorithm on one or other frequency of the processor.

Performance Analysis of IBM POWER8 Processors
Jelen, Jakub ; Kešner, Filip (referee) ; Jaroš, Jiří (advisor)
This paper describes the IBM Power8 system in comparison to the Intel Xeon processors, widely used in today’s solutions. The performance is not evaluated only on the whole system level but also on the level of threads, cores and a memory. Different metrics are demonstrated on typical optimized algorithms. The benchmarked Power8 processor provides extremely fast memory providing sustainable bandwidth up to 145 GB/s between main memory and processor, which Intel is unable to compete. Computation power is comparable (Matrix multiplication) or worse (N-body simulation, division, more complex algorithms) in comparison with current Intel Haswell-EP. The IBM Power8 is able to compete Intel processors these days and it will be interesting to observe the future generation of Power9 and its performance in comparison to current and future Intel processors.

Fast Reconstruction of Photoacoustic Images
Kukliš, Filip ; Dvořák, Václav (referee) ; Jaroš, Jiří (advisor)
The ability of reconstruction of photoacoustic images is important requirement to study soft tissues or vascular and lymphatic systems in high resulution but in small space. Today solution needs extensive computing power and it is noticeably time-consuming. In this study we would like to introduce a new solution which would be a way much faster and easy to use. My solution is up to 20x faster and needs forty percent less memory. This solution may be a better alternative for scietnist who study soft tissues by photoacoustic imaging.

The Parallel Genetic Algorithm for Multicore Systems
Vrábel, Lukáš ; Šimek, Václav (referee) ; Jaroš, Jiří (advisor)
Genetický algoritmus je optimalizačná metóda zameraná na efektívne hľadanie riešení rozličných problémov. Je založená na princípe evolúcie a prirodzeného výberu najschopnejších jedincov v prírode. Keďže je táto metóda výpočtovo náročná, bolo vymyslených veľa spôsobov na jej paralelizáciu. Avšak väčšina týchto metód je z historických dôvodov založená na superpočítačoch alebo rozsiahlych počítačových systémoch. Moderný vývoj v oblasti informačných technológií prináša na trh osobných počítačov stále lacnejšie a výkonnejšie viacjadrové systémy. Táto práca sa zaoberá návrhom nových metód paralelizácie genetického algoritmu, ktoré sa snažia naplno využiť možnosti práve týchto počítačových systémov. Tieto metódy sú následne naimplementované v programovacom jazyku C za využitia knižnice OpenMP určenej na paralelizáciu. Implementácia je následne použitá na experimentálne ohodnotenie rozličných charakteristík každej z prezentovaných metód (zrýchlenie oproti sekvenčnej verzii, závislosť konvergencie výsledných hodnôt od miery paralelizácie alebo od vyťaženia procesoru, ...). V poslednej časti práce sú prezentované porovnania nameraných hodnôt a závery vyplývajúce z týchto meraní. Následne sú prediskutované možné vylepšenia daných metód vyplývajúce z týchto záverov, ako aj možnosti spracovania väčšieho množstva charakteristík na presnejšie ohodnotenie efektivity paralelizácie genetických algoritmov.

Acceleration of Lattice-Boltzmann Algorithms for Bloodflow Modeling
Kompová, Radmila ; Kešner, Filip (referee) ; Jaroš, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis aims to explore possible implementations and optimizations of the lattice-Boltzmann method. This method allows modeling of fluid flow using a simulation of fictive particles. The thesis focuses on possible improvements of the existing tool HemeLB which is designed and optimized for bloodflow modeling. Several vectorization and paralellization approaches that could be included in this tool are explored. An application focused on comparing chosen algorithms including optimizations for the lattice-Boltzmann method was implemented as a part of the thesis. A group of tests focused on comparing this algorithms according to performance, cache usage and overall memory usage was performed. The best performance achieved was 150 millions of lattice site updates per second.

General-Purpose Computation Using Graphics Card
Boček, Michal ; Pospíchal, Petr (referee) ; Jaroš, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis describes the programming models OpenCL and CUDA for Parallel Programming adapters and in case of OpenCL even for other computing platforms. There was implemented the application which calculates the electric potential in the crystalline lattice. The algorithm was programmed using two technologies for the GPU - OpenCL and CUDA. Their computational time were compared together with computational time of the CPU.

Parallel Application Development with Intel Threading Tools
Vadkerti, Ladislav ; Jaroš, Jiří (referee) ; Dvořák, Václav (advisor)
Today's trend in microprocessor design is increasing the number of execution cores within one single chip. Increasing the processor's clock speed reached its limit with growing power consumption. This trend brings new opportunities to software developers, as they can take advantage of real multithreading in their applications. But a lot of new problems to solve appear with threading compared to sequential programming. With proper design, threading can enhance performance by making better use of hardware resources. However, the improper use of threading can lead to performance degradation, unpredictible behavior, or error conditions that are difficult to solve. For this reason Intel developed a suite of tools, that can help software developers to analyze performance and detect coding errors in thread interactions. This thesis focuses on the examination of ways that this tools can be used in multithreaded application development.
