چکیده
The radiative transfer equation is an integro-differential equation whose efficient numerical solution requires significant computational resources. In the present study, we seek to unite two powerful techniques in contemporary scientific computing: the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods and computation on graphics processing units (GPU) for solving the radiative transfer equation. Significant improvements on numerical accuracy and speedup have been achieved in the present study.
