摘　　要：随着GPU的快速发展,使用GPU来加速科学计算应用已成为必然趋势。本文抽取了SPEC2000中富含模板操作的Mgrid的两个典型子程序Rprj3和Interp,使用Brook+语言把它们移植到AMD GPU上运行。采用Brook+语言提供的线程调节机制,我们实现了不同线程粒度下的程序版本,并分析了加速比不同的原因,总结了线程粒度调节对模板程序移植的指导意义。我们使用AMD RadeonHD4870 GPU作为实验平台,对比Intel Xeon E5405 CPU上的运行结果发现,在最大规模下,Rprj3获得的相对于CPU版本的加速比为5.37×,Interp获得的相对于CPU版本的加速比为12.8×。With the fast development of GPUs, using them to accelerate scientific computing applications is becoming an inevitable trend. In this paper, we port two typical subroutines Rprj3 and Interp from Mgrid which contains rich stencil operations in SPEC2000 to run on an AMD GPU using Brook＋. Using a thread granularity tuning mechanism provided by Brook＋, we implement different ported program versions and analyze their performances. We also conclude how to utilize thread granularity tuning to optimize stencil program transplantation. Our experimental results show that under the largest problem size, Rprj3 obtains a speedup of 5.37 over its CPU version while Interp gains a speedup of 12.8 over its CPU version.
