DPP-PMRF: Rethinking Optimization for a Probabilistic Graphical Model Using Data-Parallel Primitives
We present a new parallel algorithm for probabilistic graphical model
optimization. The algorithm relies on data-parallel primitives (DPPs), which
provide portable performance over hardware architecture. We evaluate results on
CPUs and GPUs for an image segmentation problem. Compared to a serial baseline,
we observe runtime speedups of up to 13X (CPU) and 44X (GPU). We also compare
our performance to a reference, OpenMP-based algorithm, and find speedups of up
to 7X (CPU).Comment: LDAV 2018, October 201
