Application Optimization with Cache-Aware Roofline Model: Part 2
This tutorial introduces the Cache-Aware Roofline Model and discusses its principles when modeling the performance of Intel® CPU and GPU devices. It showcases how Cache-Aware Roofline Model implementation in Intel® Advisor can be used to drive application optimization. The demonstration uses epistasis detection as a case study, which is an important application in bioinformatics. For lntel® GPUs, see how Cache-Aware Roofline Model can be used to detect execution bottlenecks and provide useful hints on which type of optimizations to apply to fully exploit the device capabilities. The guidelines provided by this model were fundamental to achieve speedups of more than 20x when compared to the baseline code.
