Usage Guide

Requirements

  • CUDA 9.0
  • Thrust parallel template library
  • CuRand

Basics

First compile the adaptive_boxes.cu script. Just do make.

Run ./adabox with the following arguments:

  • [1] input file (binary matrix in .csv)
  • [2] output file (list of rectangles in .csv)
  • [3] n (# of tests = n x n)

Input file

The input should be a .csv file which contains the matrix size and the binary matrix data. Some samples are located in data folder. As a simple example see squares.csv.

Output file

A list of resulting rectangles in a .csv file. Data is given in the format: [x1 x2 y1 y2] (Two points rectangle location).

Performance Test

Execution time in seconds:

# of parallel searches [n] Scene 1 Scene 2 Scene 3

How does it work? Why sound propagation modeling?

Adaptive Rectangular Decomposition (ARD) is an efficient technique for modeling the sound propagation. This technique reduces the computational overhead and memory requirements by using non-dispersive sub-rectangular domains suitable for parallel computation. In order to use this technique, the scene should be decomposed into large inscribed rectangles. For large and complex scenes, it is not feasible to find an optimal set of large rectangles and thus an approximation should be used. In this paper, we present a GPU-accelerated algorithm for searching an adequate rectangular decomposition of a 2D scene in a reasonable time. Our algorithm performs a fast parallel search in the entire domain. As a result, large and complex scenes can be decomposed in seconds and it enables them to be numerically modeled in parallel using ARD.
