Separable 2D Convolution with Polymorphic Register Files
Paper in proceeding, 2013

This paper studies the performance of separable 2D convolution on multi-lane Polymorphic Register Files (PRFs). We present a matrix transposition algorithm optimized for PRFs, and a 2D vectorized convolution algorithm which avoids strided memory accesses. We compare the throughput of our PRF to the NVIDIA Tesla C2050 GPU. The results show that even in bandwidth constrained systems, multi-lane PRFs can outperform the GPU for 9 × 9 or larger mask sizes.
