Bottleneck Code

The two slowest parts of this encryption method are fastModularExp and findHighestSetBit. A third function, intToByteArray, takes up a relatively small amount of time but may still be able to be optimized.

unsigned int fastModularExp(ULong a, ULong b, ULong c) {
    ULong result = 1;
    ULong leadingbit = findHighestSetBit(b); // Heighest set bit
    while(leadingbit > 0){ //while there are bits left
        result = ((result*result) % c); //case 1: bit is a 0
        if((b & leadingbit) > 0){
            result = ((result * a) % c); //case 2: if bit is a 1
        }
        leadingbit = leadingbit >> 1;
    }
    return (unsigned int)result;
}

ULong findHighestSetBit(ULong num){
    ULong result = 0;
    for(int i = 63; i >= 0; i--){
        if(num & (1ULL << i)){
            result = 1ULL << i;
            return result;
        }
    }
    return result;
}

byte* intToByteArray(int num, byte *result){
    for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++){
        result[i] = (num & (0xFF << (8 *(3-i)))) >> (8 *(3-i));
    }
    return result;
}

At first glance, the fastest function is also the function that appears like it would be the easiest to run on a GPU. The other code does not look like it can be optimized with a GPU easily as it does not use large arrays of N size. However, after some short internet research, several documents turned up on the topic of using a GPU to make RSA faster (example: here and here). This leaves me hopeful that in the further stages of this assignment that this could be an interesting program to work with.

Ryan Mullings: Program 2-Image Manipulation Processor

I decided to profile an Image manipulation program since it had many different functions that I could play around with. Also depending on the number of files you enter as arguments the processor will display different options Source Code:link to dream in code

Sample Run

Essentially, all of the functions are the main hotspots from the test runs.

Program 3: Serial pi Calculation - C version

I've decided to profile the calculate (estimate) of pi using a "dartboard" algorithm.

The program is described as the follows:

* FILE: ser_pi_calc.c
* DESCRIPTION:  
*   Serial pi Calculation - C Version
*   This program calculates pi using a "dartboard" algorithm.  See
*   Fox et al.(1988) Solving Problems on Concurrent Processors, vol.1
*   page 207.  
* AUTHOR: unknown
* REVISED: 02/23/12 Blaise Barney

* Throw darts at board.  Done by generating random numbers
* between 0 and 1 and converting them to values for x and y
* coordinates and then testing to see if they "land" in
* the circle."  If so, score is incremented.  After throwing the
* specified number of darts, pi is calculated.  The computed value
* of pi is returned as the value of this function, dboard.

Hardware and software

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.151019-1254) Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3740QM CPU @ 2.70GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.7GHz Available OS Memory: 16280MB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M

By default the argument 100000 darts and 100 rounds.

using matrix@seneca I entered the following commands.

 g++ -O2 -g -pg -opi ser_pi_calc.c

execute

It appears it only calls the dboard(int) function

Code Snippet

 for (n = 1; n <= darts; n++) {
     /* generate random numbers for x and y coordinates */
     r = (double)random()/cconst;
     x_coord = (2.0 * r) - 1.0;
     r = (double)random()/cconst;
     y_coord = (2.0 * r) - 1.0;
     /* if dart lands in circle, increment score */
     if ((sqr(x_coord) + sqr(y_coord)) <= 1.0)
        score++;
     }
  /* calculate pi */
  pi = 4.0 * (double)score/(double)darts;
  return(pi);  
 }

Plans

Using the serial Pi calculator/estimator, conduct a large amount of sampling which reaches the limit of my computer. Perhaps changing the number of round to one and and run the maximum sampling size and accuracy that my computer can handle.

Problem

When using the code with visual studio, I had errors trying to compile it. It appears after some time searching online, the #include <time.h> function void srandom(unsigned seed); and random() does not come standard in all ANSI code so I tried the approach using srand(NULL) and rand(); and still failed resulting returns of 0.0000. zeroes. I modified the code for the random generate number and added report time kept idea the same into a simpler program.

Code

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <chrono>
using namespace std::chrono;

double generateNumber() {
	const double randf = 1.0f / (double)RAND_MAX;
	return std::rand() * randf;
}


void reportTime(const char* msg, steady_clock::duration span) {
	double nsecs = double(span.count()) *
		steady_clock::period::num / steady_clock::period::den;
	std::cout << msg << " - took - " <<
		nsecs << " secs" << std::endl;
}


int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	double dart = std::atoi(argv[1]);
	steady_clock::time_point ts, te;


	double x, y;
	int i;
	int score = 0;
	double z;
	double pi;

	ts = steady_clock::now();
	//main loop
	for (i = 0; i<dart; ++i) {
		//get random points
		x = (double)generateNumber();
		y = (double)generateNumber();
		z = sqrt((x*x) + (y*y));
		if (z <= 1)
			++score;
	}
	pi = ((double)score / (double)dart)*4.0; // p = 4(m/n)
	std::cout << "After " << i << " throws, average pi is " << pi << std::endl;
	te = steady_clock::now();
	reportTime("pi calculation", te - ts);
}

Results, bottlenecks, and benchmark

It appears my computer's limitation is 2147483647 samples

After 2147483647 throws, average pi is 3.14152

Summary

For the rotation code, at around 500x600 dimensions or 300,000 pixels, the speed is about the same. However, as the image size increases, the scalar code will become much slower in comparison to the GPU code. To parallelize the code, I just used the straight forward tactic of unrolling the two for loops and assigning one thread for what would be each iteration. Since each index of the array was looked at individually, there is no problem doing that. As you can see in the benchmarks, through this process the speed was reduced greatly at higher resolutions.
