EGEMV On Intel SoCs

This repository houses my undergraduate thesis: EGEMV On Intel SoCs.

The full report is in the repo in the /report folder: Steere_Ethan_B__EGEMV_On_Intel_SoCs.pdf

I've continued to make pushes after graduation in May and hope to continue making improvements when I can.

Here's a few things I'd like to try:

• Separate OpenCL kernels into separate files. (6/14)
• Compile OpenCL-C to SPIR-V at build-time instead of runtime.
  • This is possible with KhronosGroup/SPIRV-LLVM-Translator. SPIRV-LLVM-Translator is highly inconvient to build and use. Maybe it needs a build.zig.
  • Alternatively, Zig with callconv(.Kernel) can generate PTX and SPIRV kernels. Maybe that's a better solution.
  • I feel uncomfortable building OpenCL-C at runtime. It's slow and feels janky. Embedding SPIR-V would provide an experience similar to nvcc.
• Use Level Zero to execute OpenCL/SPIR-V. This article shows that Level-Zero, unlike OpenCL, can analyze the kernel and suggest work group sizes.
