Multi-GPU Computing with Abaqus: Benchmarking and scaling for multiphysics applications in mechatronics
نویسنده
چکیده
Mechatronic systems encountered in the power and automation industries exhibit very complex behavior for a variety of applications. These problems require solutions derived from diverse physical phenomena, and hence are considered to be multiphysics problems. One such problem includes computing the coupled electromechanical response of electroactive polymer actuators. Due to the complex nature of the problem, obtaining the transient response of electroactive polymer actuator-enabled mechanical systems is a computationally expensive task. In this study, we investigate how multi-GPU acceleration using Abaqus/Standard 6.12 may improve the overall simulation speed. Benchmark calculations are performed on a 16-core workstation with 3 GPUs. This approach is applied to two classes of problem size in order to elucidate scaling effects. As a result, some best practice guidelines will be given for efficient use of GPU acceleration in the given context.
