Mixed Reality Humans: A Compute Unified System Architecture for Graphics Clusters Incorporating Data Locality
By Christoph Müller, Steffen Frey, Magnus Strengert, Carsten Dachsbacher and Thomas Ertl
We present a development environment for distributed GPU computing targeted for multi-GPU systems, as well as graphics clusters. Our system is based on CUDA and logically extends its parallel programming model for graphics processors to higher levels of parallelism, namely, the PCI bus and network interconnects. While the extended API mimics the full function set of current graphics hardware—including the concept of global memory—on all distribution layers, the underlying communication mechanisms are handled transparently for the application developer...
