CUDA Matrix Multiplication Using Shared Memory

This code demonstrates matrix multiplication in CUDA, leveraging shared memory for optimization. It includes two examples: a kernel using shared memory and a host-side implementation using the Thrust library.

CUDA Kernel with Shared Memory

The following CUDA kernel performs matrix multiplication using shared memory to optimize data access:


__global__ void matMulShared(int *A, int *B, int *C, int rowsA, int colsA, int colsB) {
    __shared__ int tile_A[TILE_SIZE][TILE_SIZE], tile_B[TILE_SIZE][TILE_SIZE];
    int row = blockIdx.y * TILE_SIZE + threadIdx.y, col = blockIdx.x * TILE_SIZE + threadIdx.x, temp = 0;

Understanding Equity, WACC, and Discount Rates in Finance

Classified in Economy

Written on in English with a size of 4.22 KB

Equity and Financial Concepts

Free Cash Flow (FCF)

FCFt = EBIT + DEP - CAPEX - ΔWC - TAX

ΔWC = Δreceivables + Δinventories - Δpayables + Δother items

TAX = (EBIT-Yt)*T = EBIT*T - YtT

FCFE = FCFt - Yt - PRINCt

FCFtu = FCFt - YtT

Y = kdD0 (interest paid is cost of debt*value of debt)

Standard WACC

ks=(1-L)ke + Lkd(1-T) | Use Standard WACC with FCFu | ITS is not included in both FCFu & ks | Need Constant Target Leverage Ratio (L)

ke = reflects operating and financial risk faced by investors | ku = unlevered cost of equity (if firm had no debt), reflects operating risk

V0 = U0 + I0 (Enterprise Value = value of operations + value of ITS) | Leave space for Standard WACC equation if kits = kd OR kits = ku

Standard WACC model implicitly assumes kits... Continue reading "Understanding Equity, WACC, and Discount Rates in Finance" »
