| Prosjektbeskrivelse: |
The aim of this project is to study the feasibility of developing a LP problem solver in the
IBM/Sony Cell processor. Our goal is to decrease the time used for solving LP problems. Two
directions will have to be studied (within one or two projects). The first direction will be to try a
solver small and optimized to run on a single CELL-SPU, which means taking care of the dual SPU
pipeline system, the cache and bus transfer, the multiple instructions (SMID), etc ... The second
direction will be to study how to split the solving process in the multiple SPUs in order to get the
different parts of the algorithm to run in parallel.
For this project the students will use the IBM SDK (VMWare Fedora Linux Image) and will be able
to test their work on Miriam PS3 system or on IBM Cell Blade center where we can book running
sessions.
