Memory transfer time in using CUDA #10

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
In using CUDA one important time consuming task is the transfer of variables 
from host to device and from device to host. It is necessary to investigate the 
time spent for this task wrt to the total solution time. This should be done 
for a series of meshes to understand the dependency of transfer time on problem 
size. NVIDIA's profiling tools might be useful for this purpose.

It is expected to find out that the transfer time is a critical bottleneck. If 
this is verified solution algorithm should be modified accordingly.
