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 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.

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.

In this paper we evaluate the potential for using an NVIDIA graphics processing unit (GPU) to accelerate high precision integer multiplication, addition, and subtraction. The reported peak vector performance for a typical GPU appears to offer good potential for accelerating such a computation. Because of limitations in the on-chip memory, the high cost of kernel launches, and the nature of the architecture's support for parallelism, we used a hybrid algorithmic approach to obtain good performance on multiplication. On the GPU itself we adapt the Strassen FFT algorithm to multiply 32KB chunks, while on the CPU we adapt the Karatsuba divide-and-conquer approach to optimize application of the GPU's partial multiplies, which are viewed as "digits" by our implementation of Karatsuba. Even with this approach, the result is at best a factor of three increase in performance, compared with using the GMP package on a 64-bit CPU at a comparable technology node. Our implementations of addition and subtraction achieve up to a factor of eight improvement. We identify the issues that limit performance and discuss the likely impact of planned advances in GPU architecture.

This paper deals with GPU computing of special mathematical functions that are used in Fractional Calculus. The graphics processing unit (GPU) has grown to be an integral part of nowadays’s mainstream computing structures. The special mathematical functions are an integral part of Fractional Calculus. This paper deals with a novel parallel approach for computing special mathematical functions used in Fractional Calculus. NVIDIA’s GPU hardware is used to speed up the parallel algorithm. A comparison of the sequential code, vectorized code and GPU code is performed. We have successfully reduced the computation time of special mathematical functions using the parallel computing capabilities of GPU.

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.
