Popis: We investigate the design and implementation of a GPU-accelerated tree-search algorithm in Chapel. The latter is motivated by the emerging GPU support of Chapel, which stands as an alternative to traditional low-level programming environments, such as CUDA. The algorithm is based on a general multi-pool approach equipped with a load balancing mechanism. It is experimented on the N-Queens problem and compared to a CUDA baseline implementation using up to 8 GPUs. Both Nvidia and AMD GPU architectures are considered. We demonstrate that the Chapel's high level of abstraction causes a performance loss of only 10% in our experiments, and our algorithm achieves up to 75% of the linear speed-up in best scenarios.
