Jacket
GPU Powered MATLAB Acceleration
Torben Larsen, Gallagher Pryor and James Malcolm
This chapter describes Jacket, which is a software platform for offloading MATLAB computation onto NVIDIA CUDA-capable GPUs. The objective of Jacket is to combine the productivity and simplicity of the MATLAB environment and M-language with the raw computational power of GPUs. We describe the ideas behind Jacket and its basic use, and we provide a simple example that compares MATLAB, CUDA C, and Jacket with respect to code and computational performance. Further, we include a performance evaluation of various Jacket features including CPU-GPU memory transfer, floating point performance, etc.
