CPU, GPU and MIC performance: a comparison of modern reconstruction hardware

A comparison of the relative performance of multiple hardware options (CPU, GPU, MIC) available for accelerating reconstruction software performance is provided. The performance results were obtained during the process of implementing of a computationally intensive MR acceleration prescription-optimizing calculation across multiple hardware generations. Implications for purchasing and development activities where computational throughput as well as development time must be balanced are discussed.

How to access this content:

For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.

After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.

After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
