Abstract [en]

Industrial control systems are continuously increasing in functionality, connectivity, and levels of integration, and as a consequence they require more computational power. At the same time, these systems have specific requirements related to cost, reliability, timeliness, and thermal power dissipation, which put restrictions on the hardware and software used. Today the high-end embedded CPUs not only provide multiple cores, but also integrated graphics processors (GPU) at close to no additional cost. The use of GPUs for general processing have several potential values in industrial control systems; 1) the added computational power and the high parallelism could pave way for new functionality and 2) the integrated GPU could potentially replace other hardware and thereby reduce the overall cost. In this paper we investigate the applicability of using integrated GPUs in industrial control systems. We do this by evaluating the performance of GPUs with respect to computational problem types and sizes typically found in industrial control systems. In the end we conclude that GPUs are no obvious match for industrial control systems and that several hurdles remain before a wide adoption can be motivated.
