Abstract

A parallel data processing method based on multiple graphic processing units (GPUs) is provided, including: creating, in a central processing unit (CPU), a plurality of worker threads for controlling a plurality of worker groups respectively, the worker groups including one or more GPUs; binding each worker thread to a corresponding GPU; loading a plurality of batches of training data from a nonvolatile memory to GPU video memories in the plurality of worker groups; and controlling the plurality of GPUs to perform data processing in parallel through the worker threads. The method can enhance efficiency of multi-GPU parallel data processing. In addition, a parallel data processing apparatus is further provided.
