My Bachelor Thesis Sat, Mar 29. 2014
This PDF is my Bachelor Thesis (german), the grade for the thesis is 1,3 (see this entry in wikipedia for a comparison of grades). I am pretty proud about it. Apart from diving into evolutionary algorithms, implementing these from scratch on CUDA C/C++ and applying those within the context of a specific problem domain (portfolio optimization) was a lot of fun.
It was a great opportunity to utilize the latest tech, C/C++ and CUDA ... I was able to achieve a speedup of 22 on a GPU (GTX560Ti) in comparison to one CPU core. I used Latex and the great TexMaker IDE for the text, DIA and Inkscape for drawings, etc.. Some calculations and plots were created with the R package and associated plugins. I used libeigen3 for vector-math on a single cpu core (on GPU I wrote those operations myself).
Now I am just waiting for my actual degree to arrive
