Computational Physics on Graphics Processing Units
The use of graphics processing units for scientific computations is an emerging strategy that can significantly speed up various algorithms. In this review, we discuss advances made in the field of computational physics, focusing on classical molecular dynamics and quantum simulations for electronic structure calculations using the density functional theory, wave function techniques and quantum...
متن کاملComputational Fluid Dynamics Using Graphics Processing Units: Challenges and Opportunities
A new paradigm for computing fluid flows is the use of Graphics Processing Units (GPU), which have recently become very powerful and convenient to use. In the past three years, we have implemented five different fluid flow algorithms on GPUs and have obtained significant speed-ups over a single CPU. Typically, it is possible to achieve a factor of 50-100 over a single CPU. In this review paper,...
متن کاملTraining for bioinformatics and computational biology
The explosive increase in biological information produced by large-scale genome sequencing and gene/protein expression projects has created a demand that greatly exceeds supply for researchers trained both in biology and in computer science—two quite different disciplines. National funding agencies both in the US and Europe have committed significant resources to Bioinformatics training. Dozens...
متن کاملCofactorization on Graphics Processing Units
We show how the cofactorization step, a compute-intensive part of the relation collection phase of the number field sieve (NFS), can be farmed out to a graphics processing unit. Our implementation on a GTX 580 GPU, which is integrated with a state-of-the-art NFS implementation, can serve as a cryptanalytic co-processor for several Intel i7-3770K quad-core CPUs simultaneously. This allows those ...
متن کاملFast Poisson Solvers for Graphics Processing Units
Two block cyclic reduction linear system solvers are considered and implemented using the OpenCL framework. The topics of interest include a simplified scalar cyclic reduction tridiagonal system solver and the impact of increasing the radix-number of the algorithm. Both implementations are tested for the Poisson problem in two and three dimensions, using a Nvidia GTX 580 series GPU and double p...
