通过图形处理器读取多个.dat文件

Question

我知道使用GPU读取文件是一项低效的任务，因为它面临着系统中最慢的部分，即IO。然而，我想出了另一种方法，使用CPU读取文件，并让GPU来处理处理负担。我用C++写了下面的代码，但我被困在了集成点，也就是说，在这些文件被中央处理器读取后，如何让图形处理器处理这些文件。换句话说，C++-amp添加并与代码集成的起点是什么？或者我应该从头开始重写整个代码？

{/* this code to read multiple .dat files from the directory that contains the implementation (from my account of stackoverflow) */

#include <Windows.h>
#include <ctime>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
#include <fstream>
using std::ifstream;

#include <cstring>

/* Returns the amount of milliseconds elapsed since the UNIX epoch. Works on both
 * windows and linux. */

uint64_t GetTimeMs64()
{


 FILETIME ft;
 LARGE_INTEGER li;

 /* Get the amount of 100 nano seconds intervals elapsed since January 1, 1601 (UTC) and copy it
  * to a LARGE_INTEGER structure. */
 GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(&ft);
 li.LowPart = ft.dwLowDateTime;
 li.HighPart = ft.dwHighDateTime;

 uint64_t ret;
 ret = li.QuadPart;
 ret -= 116444736000000000LL; /* Convert from file time to UNIX epoch time. */
 ret /= 10000; /* From 100 nano seconds (10^-7) to 1 millisecond (10^-3) intervals */

 return ret;

}


const int MAX_CHARS_PER_LINE = 512;
const int MAX_TOKENS_PER_LINE = 20;
const char* const DELIMITER = "|";

int main()
{
  // create a file-reading object
  uint64_t a = GetTimeMs64();
  cout << a << endl;
  HANDLE h;
WIN32_FIND_DATA find_data;
h = FindFirstFile( "*.dat", & find_data );
if( h == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE ) {
    cout<<"error"<<endl;

}
do {
    char * s = find_data.cFileName;

    ifstream fin;
  fin.open(s); // open a file
  if (!fin.good()) 
    return 1; // exit if file not found

  // read each line of the file
  while (!fin.eof())
  {
    // read an entire line into memory
    char buf[MAX_CHARS_PER_LINE];
    fin.getline(buf, MAX_CHARS_PER_LINE);

    // parse the line into blank-delimited tokens
    int n = 0; // a for-loop index

    // array to store memory addresses of the tokens in buf
    const char* token[MAX_TOKENS_PER_LINE] = {}; // initialize to 0

    // parse the line
    token[0] = strtok(buf, DELIMITER); // first token
    if (token[0]) // zero if line is blank
    {
      for (n = 1; n < MAX_TOKENS_PER_LINE; n++)
      {
    token[n] = strtok(0, DELIMITER); // subsequent tokens
        if (!token[n]) break; // no more tokens
  }
}

    // process (print) the tokens
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) // n = #of tokens
      cout << "Token[" << i << "] = " << token[i] << endl;
    cout << endl;
  }
            // Your code here
} while( FindNextFile( h, & find_data ) );
FindClose( h );



  uint64_t b = GetTimeMs64();
  cout << a << endl;
  cout << b << endl;
  uint64_t c = b - a;
  cout << c << endl;

  system("pause");
}

没有办法处理GPU的文件。正如您假设的那样，CPU处理IO。因此，您需要将读取的信息存储在内存中，将其发送到GPU，在那里进行计算等。

处理文件的一个好方法是存档(使用GPU)您的信息。

所以你用CPU读取文件，用GPU解压>计算>存档，然后用CPU存储它。

UPD。

(CPU IO READ from file (should be already archived information))  to -> main memory
(CPU SEND) to -> GPU global memory from main memory

(GPU EXTRACT (if archived))
(GPU COMPUTE (your work here))
(GPU ARCHIVE)

(CPU RETRIEVE) to -> main memory from GPU global memory
(CPU IO WRITE to file)
