7.2. Setup and Walk-through

7.2.1. Obtaining and Running the Code

So far, we have accelerated a matrix multiplication kernel with straightforward mapping to hardware. In this assignment, we will look at two applications that require more effort, namely the compression pipeline from homeworks 2, 3, and 4.

Pull in the latest changes using:

cd ese532_code/
git pull origin master

The code you will use for this section is in the hw7 directory. The directory structure looks like this:

hw7/
    sourceMe.sh
    Compress.cpp
    Differentiate.cpp
    Filter.cpp
    Scale.cpp
    Pipeline.h
