Welcome to the CAPO website

CAPO

CAPO is the Spanish acronym for High-Performance Computing and Optimization (Computación de Altas Prestaciones y Optimización), one of the research lines of the GAVAB group at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (Madrid, Spain). This line of research includes our work proposals of hardware acceleration using graphics processors and consumer platforms in fields like optimization, image and video processing.

Purpose

Since the end of the 90's computer graphics arquitectures have been exposed to programmers offering large amounts of transistors for processing. Some researchers around the world have demonstrated the use of graphics processors to general purpose applications obtaining higher performance than using a traditional platform based on CPU solutions. From the GAVAB group we work to promote new consumer arquitectures for high-performance processing, mainly in the field of computer vision, image processing and video processing.

Topics

In the CAPO research line our interests include:

• High-performance image processing
• Real-time video processing
• General purpose computing using graphics processing units (GPUs)
• Consumer multiprocessor uses: Cell programming
