The use of optical contrast between different blood particles allows the use of optoacoustic imaging to visualize the distribution of blood particles (erythrocytes, taking into account oxygen saturation), the delivery of drugs to organs through blood vessels. An algorithm for calculating the ultrasonic field obtained as a result of optoacoustic interaction has been developed to speed up calculations on the GPU board. An architecture for fast restoration of an optoacoustic signal based on graphics processing unit (GPU) programming is proposed. The algorithm used in combination with the pre-migration method provides an improvement in the resolution and sharpness of the optoacoustic image of the simulated biological tissues. Thanks to the advanced graphics processing unit (GPU) computing architecture, time-consuming main processing unit (CPU) computing is accelerated with great computational efficiency.

Molecular docking is widely used in computed drug discovery and biological target identification, but getting fast results can be tedious and often requires supercomputing solutions. AMIDE stands for AutoMated Inverse Docking Engine. It was initially developed in 2014 to perform inverse docking on High Performance Computing. AMIDE version 2 brings substantial speed-up improvement by using AutoDock-GPU and by pulling a total revision of programming workflow, leading to better performances, easier use, bug corrections, parallelization improvements and PC/HPC compatibility. In addition to inverse docking, AMIDE is now an optimized tool capable of high throughput inverse screening. For instance, AMIDE version 2 allows acceleration of the docking up to 12.4 times for 100 runs of AutoDock compared to version 1, without significant changes in docking poses. The reverse docking of a ligand on 87 proteins takes only 23 min on 1 GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), while version 1 required 300 cores to reach the same execution time. Moreover, we have shown an exponential acceleration of the computation time as a function of the number of GPUs used, allowing a significant reduction of the duration of the inverse docking process on large datasets.

A finite element code is developed in which all of the computationally expensive steps are performed on a graphics processing unit via the THRUST and the PARALUTION libraries. The code focuses on the simulation of transient problems where the repeated computations per time-step create the computational cost. It is used to solve partial and ordinary differential equations as they arise in thermal-runaway simulations of automotive batteries. The speed-up obtained by utilizing the graphics processing unit for every critical step is compared against the single core and the multi-threading solutions which are also supported by the chosen libraries. This way a high total speed-up on the graphics processing unit is achieved without the need for programming a single classical Compute Unified Device Architecture kernel.

A semi-implicit pressure based multigrid algorithm for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations was implemented on a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) using CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture). The multigrid method employed was the Full Approximation Scheme (FAS), which is used for solving nonlinear equations. This algorithm is applied to the 2D driven cavity problem and compared to the CPU version of the code (written in Fortran) to assess computational speed-up.

Abstract Clearance is a basic parameter in the design of mechanical products, generally specified as the distance between two shape elements, for example, the width of a slot. This definition is unsuitable for evaluating the clearance during assembly or manufacturing tasks, where the depth information is also critical. In this paper, we propose a novel definition of clearance for the surface of three-dimensional objects. Unlike the typical methods used to define clearance, the proposed method can simultaneously handle the relationship between the width and depth in the clearance, and thus, obtain an intuitive understanding regarding the assembly and manufacturing capability of a product. Our definition is based on the accessibility cone of a point on the object’s surface; further, the peak angle of the accessibility cone corresponds to the clearance at this point. A computation method of the clearance is presented and the results of its application are demonstrated. Our method uses the rendering function of a graphics processing unit to compute the clearance. A large computation time necessary for the analysis is considered as a problem regarding the practical use of this clearance definition.

Abstract Using models and algorithms presented in the first part of the article, a spatio-temporal distribution of the step response of a floor heater was determined. The results have been presented in the form of heating curves and temperature profiles of the heater in the selected time moments. The computations results were verified through comparing them with the solution obtained with the use of a commercial program - NISA. Additionally, the distribution of the average time constant of thermal processes occurring in the heater was determined. The analysis of the use of a graphics processing unit in numerical computations based on the conjugate gradient method was done. It was proved that the use of a graphics processing unit is profitable in the case of solving linear systems of equations with dense coefficient matrices. In the case of a sparse matrix, the speed-up depends on the number of its non-zero elements.

A fast, highly parallelized, simulation of unidirectional ultrasonic pulse propagating in a two-dimensional environment is presented. The pulse intensity versus time is recorded using an array of unidirectional ultrasonic receivers located at known locations and arranged in a small circle around the transmitter. To speed up the simulation process, OpenCL 2.0 heterogeneous compute language on a graphics processing unit is used. The simulation result is then compared with experimental data to validate its accuracy. By comparing both simulated and experimental data, the collected intensity–time profiles can be used to map an environment. Environments can be mapped using not only direct reflections but also higher order reflections from objects that are not directly seen by the transmitter. With the help of this simulation, subtle characteristics in an environment, such as a slight tilt or curvature, can be measured. The front end of the simulation is written using C#, while the back end is written using C\C++ and OpenCL.

Computer vision algorithms, especially real-time tasks, require intensive computation and reduced time. That’s why many algorithms are developed for interest point detection and description. For instance, SURF (Speeded Up Robust Feature) is extensively adopted in tracking or detecting forms and objects. SURF algorithm remains complex and massive in term of computation. So, it’s a challenge for real time usage on CPU. In this paper we propose a fast SURF parallel computation algorithm designed for Graphics-Processing-Unit (GPU). We describe different states of the algorithm in detail, using several optimizations. Our method can improve significantly the original application by reducing the computation time. Thus, it presents a good performance for real-time processing
