GPGPU - Next generation of high performence computing

Over the past few years GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) becomes competitive computing hardware against the CPU (Central Processing Unit) because of its rapid increasing performance and capabilities. Recent improvements of GPU’s highly parallel programming capabilities lead to mapped wide variety of general purpose complex application with tremendous performance improvements. This attempt on GPU is also called as General Purpose Computation on Graphics Processor (GPGPU) and this feature leads GPU to the next generation of high performance computing

Despite the relatively recent introduction of General Purpose GPU hardware, various kinds of applications have begun to take the advantage of GPU. GPU’s high performance techniques proven that it can be used successfully in diverse variety of application areas such as image processing, video processing, scientific computing, bioinformatics, computer vision, neural networks, database operations etc. Because of this reason many researches are going in the direction of GPU in various application domains to find even greater applicability in future.

Beautiful Trincomalee : One of the stunning places to visit in Sri-Lanka

In ancient times it was identified as Gokanna and it was one of the major see ports in the international trading history of Sri Lanka. The city is home to the famous ancient Koneswaram Temple and it is said that this is the capital city of king Ravana . This was my first travel to this ancient city and I would say that, it is one of the best places to visit in Sri Lanka. There are lot of places to visit there including Konesvaram Temple, Dutch Fort, Nilaveli Beach, Marble Beach and Pigeon Island . Nilaveli beach is considered to be one of the best beaches in Sri Lanka and Knee deep shallow seas spreads out hundreds of meters towards the sea. That provides ideal and pure conditions for sun bathing. Some of the pictures taken(by me and my friends) trough out the tour is listed bellow as a evidence to the stunning...

Creating a Simple Axis Service(.aar file) and Deploy it in WSO2 Application Server

In this post I am explaining how to Create a Simple Axis Service(.aar file) and Deploy it in WSO2 Application Server using a simple sample. And also at the end I am describing how to do the same thing with creation of a Jar Service. Lets assume "sample-home" as our parent directory and inside that we can create following folder structure. With this folder structure we can include our external libraries (jar files) inside lib folder and  the "services.xml" file inside "META-INF" folder. Following is the sample services.xml definition which I used with this sample creation. < service name = "HelloService" > < Description > This is a sample service to explain simple aar service </ Description > < messageReceivers > < messageReceiver mep = "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out" class = "org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver" /> </ messageReceivers > < parame...
