CPU Parallelism Lessons for GPU Kernel Engineering

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This post discusses how lessons learned from CPU parallelism can be applied to GPU kernel engineering. It highlights that many GPU performance concepts are essentially CPU ideas amplified. Key takeaways include understanding dependency chains in accumulators, the importance of floating-point non-associativity, the cost of branch misprediction, the impact of false sharing on multi-threaded performance, and how dot products are often memory-bound, necessitating techniques like those used in GPUs to hide memory latency.

    CPU parallelism lessons that carry over to GPU kernels: dependency chains, FP non-associativity, false sharing, memory-bound loops [P]

    <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Session 2 of my free GPU kernel engineering series (my own channel, earlier post: [LINK TO FIRST POST]) covers CPU parallelism, with no GPU code. The idea is that most GPU performance ideas are CPU ideas turned up, so here are the parts I found m…
