Web application that runs and compares CPU vs. GPU benchmarks on high-performance compute clusters.

ACER_Benchmark

An easy to use web application for running common C/C++ and Cuda algorithms (currently two supported) on UIC ACER servers in the form of a benchmark test. The C/C++ and Cuda results can then be compared against one another in a visually meaningful way.

This project was done as a research project during my Summer 2019 internship for ACER@UIC. It was found that for parallelizable tasks, Cuda accelerated code is exponentially more efficient than traditional computations completed on the main processor.
