Long-time simulation of calcium induced calcium release in a heart cell using the finite element method on a hybrid CPU/GPU node
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mathematical model of Calcium Induced Calcium Release in a heart cell has been developed that consists of three coupled non-linear advection-diffusion-reaction equations. A program in C with MPI based on matrixfree Newton-Krylov method gives very good scalability, but still requires large run times for fine meshes. A programming model with CUDA and MPI that utilizes GPUs on a hybrid node can significantly reduce the wall clock time. This paper reports initial results that demonstrate speedup using a hybrid node with two GPUs over the best results on a CPU node.

A simulation study of calcium release channel
The IP3R calcium release channel has been simulated using a stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA;Gillespie algorithm) and De young-Keiser model. A set of different concentration for Cat' and IP3 havebeen used. Considering the Number of molecules in each state, a non linear behavior of the system can beseen clearly. The inhibiting role of the Ca+2 on the open state (X110) has been studied. The d...
متن کاملThe Performance of an Hexahedron C* Element in Finite Element Analysis
The performance of an 8-noded hexahedron C1* element in elasticity is investigated. Three translational displacements and their derivatives as strain in each direction are considered as degrees of freedom (d.o.f.’s) at each node. The geometric mapping is enforced using a C0 element with no derivative as nodal d.o.f.’s . The stiffness matrix of the element is also computed using a transformation...

We developed a 3D finite element simulator interface for the numerical simulation of stochastic and deterministic equations for single and multiple clusters of Ca2+ releasing channels. Mathematically, diffusion, reactions and membrane transport of calcium ions in cells are represented by a coupled system of reaction-diffusion equations. We adopted a hybrid algorithm to address the coupling of t...

Several of the top ranked supercomputers are based on the hybrid architecture consisting of a large number of CPUs and GPUs. Very high performance has been obtained for problems with special structures, such as FFT-based image processing or N-body based particle calculations. However, for the class of problems described by partial differential equations discretized by finite difference (or othe...
متن کاملRole of NMDA receptors and voltage-dependent calcium channels in augmenting long-term potentiation of the CA1 area in morphine-dependent rats
The involvement of NMDA receptors and voltage-dependent calcium channels in augmentation of long-term potentiation (LTP) was investigated at the Schaffer collateral CA1 pyramidal cell synapses in hippocampal slices of morphine dependent rats, using primed-burst tetanic simulation. The amplitude of the population spike and its delay were measured as indices of increase in postsynaptic excitabi...
