GPU Meeting (20 Sept 2011)
Matt Kinsey: Porting the 2D Wave Equation to the GPU
- Optimal number of threads per block is 32*n-1, where n is an integer. The best performance in the example shown was 63 threads per block.
- Minimum number of blocks per grid is 32, according to the user's guide.
- Every time a kernel is called, the memory needs to … Continue Reading ››
