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.

<p>Numerical simulation of seismic wavefield is helpful to understand the propagation law of seismic wave in complex media. In addition, accurate simulation of seismic wave propagation is of great importance for seismic inversion. The discontinuous Galerkin finite element method(DG-FEM) combines the advantages of finite element method(FEM) and finite volume method(FVM) to effectively simulate the propagation characteristics of seismic waves in complex medium.</p><p>In this study, we use the hp-adaptive DG -FEM to perform accurate simulation of seismic wave propagation in complex topography and medium, and compare the results with the analytical solution of the Generalized Reflection/Transmission(GRT) coefficient method. Furthermore, ADE CFS-PML is modified and applied to DG-FEM, which greatly reduces the impact of artificial boundaries.</p>
