Overview / Usage

With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, industrial intelligence has become an unstoppable trend. The rise of machine learning, artificial intelligence, unmanned driving and other fields has caused the CPU to encounter bottlenecks such as low parallelism and insufficient bandwidth in the data processing process, which has brought about the extension of data processing methods and computing architecture. In order to meet the needs of diversified computing, more and more scenarios have begun to introduce hardware such as GPUs and FPGAs for acceleration. Heterogeneous computing has emerged as the times require, and it continues to play an increasingly important role with the development of the computing industry.

The main work of this experiment is to run the Sobel algorithm on multiple different platforms, use different parallel frameworks, and conduct comparative experiments on different devices, and analyze and compare the final results. Verify the characteristics of different frameworks and devices.

Methodology / Approach

Learn to use DPC++ programming to realize the edge detection algorithm based on Sobel operator. Run the parallel code on the FPGA device and GPU device provided by the DevCloud platform. Use images of different sizes and the results of the final operation of different equipment to carry out comparative experiments.
