GPU-Based Interval Optimization in the Context of Optical MIMO Systems
摘要
In this paper, we examine possibilities for global optimization on the GPU using interval-based libraries. We compare a purely brute-force based approach, a monotonicity test based approach and a Sivia based approach on the GPU with each other and with popular CPU tools in C-XSC and Octave. For that, we employ a problem in the context of optical multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We demonstrate that, although the relatively simple minimization problem we consider is difficult to solve by means of general global optimization, GPU-based methods are able to provide a solution, which is even verified if GPU implementations of the underlying libraries are verified.
