The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) originally designed for rendering graphics and which is difficult to program for other tasks, has since evolved into a device suitable for general-purpose computations. As a result graphics hardware has become progressively more attractive yielding unprecedented performance at a relatively low cost. Thus, it is the ideal candidate to accelerate a wide variety of data parallel tasks in many fields such as in Machine Learning (ML). As problems become more and more demanding, parallel implementations of learning algorithms are crucial for a useful application. In particular, the implementation of Neural Networks (NNs) in GPUs can significantly reduce the long training times during the learning process. In this paper we present a GPU parallel implementation of the Back-Propagation (BP) and Multiple Back-Propagation (MBP) algorithms, and describe the GPU kernels needed for this task. The results obtained on well-known benchmarks show faster training times and improved performances as compared to the implementation in traditional hardware, due to maximized floating-point throughput and memory bandwidth. Moreover, a preliminary GPU based Autonomous Training System (ATS) is developed which aims at automatically finding high-quality NNs-based solutions for a given problem.

The chemical non-equilibrium flow of supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet) nozzle is numerical simulated with different chemical kinetic models to research the effects on numerical results of the nozzle performance. The numerical results show that total temperature is increased due to the recombination of dissociation compositions and the combustion of the residual fuel. The effect of the combustion of the residual fuel is more obvious in this paper, and the effect to the performance of the nozzle is noticeable. The species of the compositions in the models influence the quantity of heat sending out when it get equilibrium, so the 9-species chemical kinetic models are more suitable in the simulation of the scramjet nozzle chemical non-equilibrium flows.
