Algorithmic and language-based optimization of Marsa-LFIB4 pseudorandom number generator using OpenMP, OpenACC and CUDA

摘要

The aim of this paper is to present new high-performance implementations of Marsa-LFIB4 which is an example of high-quality multiple recursive pseudorandom number generators. We propose an algorithmic approach that combines language-based vectorization techniques together with a new divide-and-conquer parallel method that exploits a special sparse structure of the matrix obtained from the recursive formula that defines the generator. Our portable OpenACC implementation achieves the performance comparable to those achieved by our CUDA-based and OpenMP-based implementations on CPUs and multicore CPUs, respectively.
