PConG: A novel platform available for pervasive computing based on GPU

Graphics processing units (GPUs) have evolved into an extremely powerful and flexible processor, making them an attractive platform for high performance computing due to their extremely high floating-point processing performance, huge memory bandwidth and their comparatively low cost. This paper proposes a new platform named PConG for pervasive computing. We describe the design and implementation of the PConG platform that provides a novel mechanism to execute programs in a pervasive computing environment. The presented experimental results show that significant improvements can be achieved with the use of PConG against the use of conventional server.
