Power-aware Performance Tuning of GPU Applications Through Microbenchmarking.

uGPU

October, 2015

uGPU uGPU suite of microbenchmarks that provides the actual characteristics of specific GPU device components (e.g., arithmetic instruction units, memories, etc.) in terms of throughput, power, and energy consumption.


uGPU is developed in C++ for CUDA under GNU\Linux. It requires NVIDIA GPU devices with compute capability 3.0 and above (Kepler and Maxwell architectures). It requires a powermon2 device for power and energy consumption profiling. Tested on 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 System.
