Benchmarking GPUs to Tune Dense Linear Algebra 3. Use registers and multiple outputs per thread on GPU 4. Unrolling parallel loops 5. LU, QR and Cholesky Factorizations using Vector Capabilities of GPUs 6. Understanding Latency Hiding on GPUs 7. A microbenchmark to study GPU performance models 8. Parallel computing experiences with CUDA 9. Fitting FFT onto the G80 Architecture 10. Stencil Computation Optimization and Auto-tuning on State-of-the-Art Multicore Architectures 11. Using GPUs to accelerate the bisection algorithm for finding eigenvalues of symmetric tridiagonal matrices 12. Building an Efficient Hash Table on the GPU 13. Programming inverse memory hierarchy: case of stencils on GPUs And these don't even cover his contributions to computer graphics and computational neuroimaging. For someone whose work has had such a lasting impact across multiple fields, he seems remarkably low-profile.
