Ray-tracing Using IPP Library
Kukla, Michal ; Havel, Jiří (referee) ; Hradiš, Michal (advisor)
Master thesis is dealing with design and implementation of ray-tracing and path-tracing using IPP library. Theoretical part discusses current trends in acceleration of selected algorithms and also possibilities of parallelization. Design of ray-tracing and path-tracing algorithm and form of parallelization are described in proposal. This part also discusses implementation of adaptive sampling and importance sampling with Monte Carlo method to accelerate path-tracing algorithm. Next part is dealing with particular steps in implementation of selected rendering methods regarding IPP library. Implementation of network interface using Boost library is also discussed. At the end, implemented methods are subjected to performance and quality test. Final product of this thesis is server aplication capable of handling multiple connections which provides visualisation and client application which implements ray-tracing and path-tracing.

Algortihm Optimization Using SIMD Instructions
Sedláček, Marek ; Rydlo, Štěpán (referee) ; Orság, Filip (advisor)
This thesis talks about techniques which can be used to optimize run time of algorithms. For a demonstration of these techniques algorithms from different fields were chosen, namely particle swarm optimization, circle drawing algorithm and image (matrix) rotation algorithm. These algorithms were written in Python 3, C language and assembly language using SIMD instructions. While writing these codes emphases was placed on code efficiency. These practices were in this thesis described and compared, same as the impact on algorithm optimization. Performed tests upheld expected potential of SIMD technology for optimization, but also that this approach cannot be used in all cases. In case of circle drawing the SIMD approach achieved more than ten times better speeds than the serial implementation in C and more than one thousand times better speed than Python 3 implementation. In case of particle swarm optimization the result was opposite -- serial C implementation achieved a better speed than SIMD implementation.

Acceleration of Vector and Cryptographic Operations on x86-64 Platform
Šlenker, Samuel ; Martinásek, Zdeněk (referee) ; Balík, Miroslav (advisor)
The aim of this thesis was to study and subsequently process a comparison of older and newer SIMD processing units of modern microprocessors on the x86-64 platform. The thesis provides an overview of the fastest computations of vector operations with matrices and vectors, including corresponding source codes. Furthermore, the thesis is focused on authenticated encryption, specifically on block cipher AES operating in Galois Counter Mode, and on a discussion of possibilities of instruction sets for cryptographic support.

Optimization of a Processor Core for the OpenCV Library
Benna, Filip ; Hynek, Jiří (referee) ; Hruška, Tomáš (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with compilation of OpenCV library with Codix RISC processor core as the target machine and following optimization of chosen applications based on this library. Process of optimization is based on extensibility of the processor core, therefore this thesis theoretically describes and also shows on example extending the processor's instruction set with vector instructions. The thesis also contains the results of the optimization and their comparison with the not optimized application.

Lifting Scheme Cores for Wavelet Transform
Bařina, David ; Kälviäinen, Heikki (referee) ; Sojka, Eduard (referee) ; Zemčík, Pavel (advisor)
Práce se zaměřuje na efektivní výpočet dvourozměrné diskrétní vlnkové transformace. Současné metody jsou v práci rozšířeny v několika směrech a to tak, aby spočetly tuto transformaci v jediném průchodu, a to případně víceúrovňově, použitím kompaktního jádra. Tohle jádro dále může být vhodně přeorganizováno za účelem minimalizace užití některých prostředků. Představený přístup krásně zapadá do běžně používaných rozšíření SIMD, využívá hierarchii cache pamětí moderních procesorů a je vhodný k paralelnímu výpočtu. Prezentovaný přístup je nakonec začleněn do kompresního řetězce formátu JPEG 2000, ve kterém se ukázal být zásadně rychlejší než široce používané implementace.

Picture generation using path tracing
Áč, Ondřej ; Dvořák, Vojtěch (referee) ; Pavlík, Michal (advisor)
This thesis deals with the problematics of computer-generated imagery using path tracing. The goal of this work is to create interactive computer program, which allows editing and rendering of photorealistic images of various scenes in real time. The work presents the concept of rendering equation, along with its known solutions, in the theoretical part of the work. Thesis describes in detail the solution using path tracing, based on the Monte Carlo integration technique, along with the benefits, it provides compared to the other techniques. Several hardware and software optimizations are then presented. Practical part of the work focuses on analysis of C++ source code and compiled assembly code whilst using hardware specific SIMD optimizations. Mandatory part of work is also the demonstration of program’s functionality, along with the measurements of achieved performance gains using manual optimizations.

SIMD code generator
Tuček, Karel ; Bednárek, David (advisor) ; Arcaini, Paolo (referee)
Title: SIMD code generator Author: Karel Tuček Department: Department of Software Engineering Supervisor: RNDr. David Bednárek, Ph.D., Department of Software Engineering Abstract: The center of our interest is a problem of pipelined realisation of a special case of data processing networks. These realisations are supposed to realise some computations on series of independent data sets while utilizing SIMD instructions. The aim of this paper is to theoretically investigate the possibilities and the problems of employment of control flow in these networks and also to implement a general framework suitable for generation of these realisations. The main idea is utilisation of an algorithm crawling over partitions of a network factorised with respect to its control flow. Our idea is that SIMD parallelism should take place on the same instruction realised across multiple data sets. We illustrate the problems relevant to employment of branching and loops in these networks. We especially discuss a problem of data ordering and also provide relevant proofs. In the analytical part, we show implementation of a general framework which we believe to be suitable for processing of these networks. We also provide examples utilising Intel's SIMD Streaming Extensions. Keywords: Processing networks SIMD Parallelism iii

.NET's LINQ Optimization
Šerý, Daniel ; Ryšavý, Ondřej (referee) ; Pluskal, Jan (advisor)
This thesis deals with LINQ (Language integrated query) and investigates possibilities of its implementation and optimization in C# language. Method of rewriting of query to procedural code is chosen and implemented. The goal is to provide a LINQ that can be used in code with the need for high speed. Regarding the program created for rewriting LINQ queries, the performance of most operators has been increased by 1.2x to 20x of System.Linq speed depending of rewritten algorithm, data source and provided information to rewriting program.
