GPU Enhanced Multithreading
The purpose

What was the purpose?

Although this project focuses on matrix multiplication, the overall task was to understand how efficient GPUs were at processing large datasets compared to CPUs. With the sudden surge of Generative AI companies and startups, and AI as a whole, we have seen NVIDIA skyrocket in popularity as they continue to provide the biggest tech leaders GPUs with extreme superiority over their competition. Recent news shows Mark Zuckerberg's "Meta" is looking to purchase billions of dollars worth of GPUs to train their AI Language Models.

During a gold rush, sell shovels.

This project utilized Data Parallel C++ (DPC++) and GPU acceleration to perform high-performance matrix multiplication. By populating and multiplying two large matrices, the program employed effective parallelization techniques to achieve rapid and accurate results. Additionally, it generated a heatmap visualization of the resultant matrix, allowing users to intuitively interpret and analyze the multiplication results.
