Sudoku Solver by Matt B.
Sudoku solver is a program that solves a sudoku puzzle. The user can input an existing file and have the program solve this, or can manually enter values to be solved. The sudoku puzzle is 9x9 in size. The data needs to be in a specific format for the program to work. There are 9 rows of values, with each cell/element in the row needing to be separated by a space. A value of 0 tells the program to solve this value.
Original source code can be found here.
Easy puzzle
To compile the program, open the terminal and go to the projects directory
$ g++ -std=c++0x -pg solver.cpp checks.cpp checksolution.cpp -o Sudoku
This will create an executable file called Sudoku. -pg is used for creating a gmon.out file, which will allow us to profile the program with arguments.
This is the easy sudoku puzzle that will be running through the program first. The file is saved as 'puzzle' in the same directory.

Run the code with
$ ./Sudoku puzzle
After the program is done running, the result is

Test Case
To profile the program, run this command.
$ gprof -p -b ./Sudoku gmon.out > Sudoku.flt

Analysis
The analysis reveals that the program took no time in solving this puzzle. However, the function checkRow and checkColumn were called the most. These two functions are used for checking whether the row and columns are correct. For a deeper analysis, a harder puzzle must be used.

Analysis
With a harder puzzle, the time for the program to solve the puzzle increased significantly. The total time to complete this puzzle was 17.13 seconds. The program spends almost half of its running time checking if the row is correct, and another 18% of its time checking whether the column is correct. This program contains thousands of calls to check the row and column values, this is why the program would be excellent project for parallelizing.
Oil Painting By Sallie J.
This program converts a regular image into a stylized oil painting, it uses OpenCV. The painting algorithm depends on the brush size and colour intensity. The program takes three command line arguments: int for brush size, int for intensity and file name of an image. Upon finishing, the program produces the original image along with the oil paint version and the total time required in seconds.
The original source code can be found here.
However there have been some changes to make testing and profiling slightly easier. (Mainly changes are putting the for-loop logic into a function outside of the main and modifying for command line arguments instead of hard coding values.)
Running the program
To compile the program on Linux you must download the OpenCV library and then create a makefile that will create the executable OilPaint.exe. To compile the program in visual studio you will need to set project properties for OpenCV through setting the C/C++ Additional Include Directories, Linker Additional Library Directories and Input Additional Dependencies (opencv_world320d.lib).
Run the executable with the arguments 5 (brush size), 20 (colour intensity), filename.format (including file format)
Output:
gprof Output:

(there are a lot of other calls to the library that did not significantly affect the profiling)
vs Performance profiler Output:
The time required for the program depends largely on the file size being converted. Around 5 seconds for a 50KB image and 100 seconds for a 1MB image. It depends on the brush size and intensity levels as well.
Analysis
The profiling revealed that 80-99% of the processing time is spent in the paint function where the for-loop logic is located. Within that 99% the program spends roughly 2/3 of its time reading accessing data through the "at" function of the OpenCV Mat class (n-dimensional dense array class). The other 1/3 is spent on direct access through OpenCV’s Vec class (short numerical vectors). The for-loop is structured divides the picture up based on brush size. Then it finds the colour for each pixel in that section. Finally, it then averages the intensity to produce the final colour of that group of pixels. This is what makes this program ideal for parallelizing, because each iteration of this for-loop is calculating the final colours for each pixel. (SIMD type of process, the single instruction is to find the final colour and the multiple data is the pixels.)
//Simplified for-loop structure
for (int y = BrushSize; y < (height - BrushSize); y++) //for each row based on brush size
{
for (int x = BrushSize; x < (width - BrushSize); x++) //for each column in brush size
{
for (int j = -BrushSize; j <= BrushSize; j++) //for each pixel row in one brush size grouping
{
for (int i = -BrushSize; i <= BrushSize; i++)//for each pixel column in one brush size grouping
{ //algorithm and logic for colour calculations }
}
}

DNA Edit Distance and Sequence Alignment Tool - Analysis by Jonathan D.
This program is a bioinformatics tool which will calculate the edit distance between two sequences. Furthermore, if the option is selected, then the program will also perform a sequence alignment on the two sequences. The two sequences must be given in FASTA format, but there are already ready to use sequences within the test directory of the project.
Original source code can be be found here.
Compilation
To compile the program, navigate to the project’s src directory and run the following command:
$ g++ -std=c++11 -g -pg -O2 BasicEditDistance.cpp main.cpp Parser.cpp Result.cpp Sequence.cpp Solver.cpp SubmatrixCalculator.cpp Writer.cpp
Running the Program
There are three options to run the program, as noted in the github readme:
b - basic edit distance (Needleman-Wunsch)
d - edit distance (Masek-Paterson)
a - edit distance and alignment (Masek-Paterson)
Initial testing of the program was done by using the "b" option which utilizes the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm to calculate basic edit distance and maximum sequence length of 100 nucleotides. (FASTA files were included in the project under the test directory)

As you can see, the two sequences are now aligned which will show conserved regions of nucleotides between the two.
Analysis
In order to perform gprof analysis, sequence length of 10000 was used:
$ ./a.out a ../test/data/test-10000.fa test.maf $ gprof -p -b > FULL_O2.analysis.10000.flt

Even with a low sequence length of 10000, we can already begin to see that a lot of time is used in the function call Solver::fill_edit_matrix().
If we run the program for a larger sequence of 50000, the following flat profile is generated.
Flat profile: Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.

At 50000 nucleotides, it is even more clear that the Solver::fill_edit_matrix() function is the dominating term of the execution since it's taking up 85% of the elapsed time.
Below is a snippet of the code:
/*
Backtracks through the submatrices until it reaches the
starting cell. Edit operations in the vector will be ordered backwards
and the integers represent:
1 - moving down in the submatrix
2 - moving right in the submatrix
3 - moving diagonally in the submatrix

Within the function itself there are many nested calls to the sumSteps function in the SubmatrixCalculator.cpp file. Since the purpose of this function is to retrieve the path through the matrix while calculating the number of steps, this simple operation could benefit from the usage of a GPU rather than a CPU.
