Topics

Overview

  • Current status of ITK-GPU
    • Design strategy
    • Implementation
    • Usage example
  • GPU code testing strategy

Questions/Comments

  • Asynchronous memory copy support
  • Multithreading support (host)
    • GPU driver will handle time-sharing
  • Using time stamp class, mutex
  • Global repository for GPU source code files and on-the-fly hard-coded headers generation

Action Items

  • itkGPU* for general GPU class, itkOpenCL* for specific GPU implementation
  • Pipelining using ITK factory mechanism
    • Try subclassing BinaryThresholdImageFilter and SigmoidImageFilter so that we can experiment with using the ITK factory mechanism to use the OpenCL versions
  • Inplace filter handling of the GPUImage
