Filtering Benchmarks – OpenCV GPU vs LibJacket

September 26, 2011

OpenCV is one of the most popular computer vision toolkits, and over the last year they’ve been integrating more GPU processing into the core. One of the most common image processing tasks is convolution. Since LibJacket and OpenCV both support this, one of my coworkers rolled up his sleeves and benchmarked the latest versions from [...]

Optimization methods for deep learning

September 20, 2011

Researchers at SAIL (Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laborator), have done it again. They have successfully used Jacket to speed up the training part of Deep Learning algorithms. In their paper titled “On Optimization Methods for Deep Learning”, they experiment with some of the well known training algorithms and demostrate their scalability across parallel architectures (GPUs as [...]

Discrete GPUs are here to stay

September 12, 2011

Ever since AccelerEyes began over 4 years ago, naysayers have flippantly tossed out the idea that somehow computing on discrete GPUs will soon go away. Some thought AMD’s Fusion would become the demise of discrete GPU computing. Others thought that Intel’s integrated graphics would squeeze high-end GPUs out of the market. Neither is anywhere close [...]

Jacket Demo – CPU vs GPU runtimes on MATLAB® code

September 1, 2011

To explore the differences between CPU-only computing and GPU-accelerated computing, the new Jacket Demo is really convenient.  The Jacket Demo automatically launches two MATLAB® sessions, one running on the CPU-only and the other running on the GPU with Jacket. This side-by-side demo shows the computational speed of each processor as well as a visual depiction [...]

Action Recognition with Independent Subspace Analysis

August 19, 2011

Researchers at the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL) have had more success (building on previous work) using Jacket to speed up their algorithm. In a paper at this year’s CVPR 2011, entitled “Learning hierarchical invariant spatio-temporal features for action recognition with independent subspace analysis”, they explain how their unsupervised feature learning algorithm competes with other [...]

Filtered Back-Projection and Non-Uniform FFTs

August 16, 2011

In order to investigate changes of forest biomass, scientists use microwave tomography to image the vegetation. At the smallest scale, individual plants can be imaged to investigate branching and growth, but even synthetic aperture radar can reveal large-scale changes in regional ecology. To the right, you can see the experimental setup to image an individual [...]

Music Beat Analysis with Jacket

August 11, 2011

Did you ever wonder how the music visualizer in your media player works? Watching it pulsate in synchrony with the beats of the song is almost as entertaining as listening to the song itself! Researchers have been attempting to detect beats in audio signals for many years, and there are many techniques available, from the [...]
