چکیده
In this chapter, we present several GPU algorithms for evaluating molecular orbitals on three-dimensional lattices, as is commonly used for molecular visualization. For each kernel, we describe necessary design trade-offs, applicability to various problem sizes, and performance on different generations of GPU hardware. Further, we demonstrate the appropriate and effective use of fast on-chip GPU memory subsystems for access to key data structures, show several GPU kernel optimization principles, and explore the application of advanced techniques such as dynamic kernel generation and just-in-time (JIT) kernel compilation techniques.1

Fast Visualization of Gaussian Density Surfaces for Molecular Dynamics and Particle System Trajectories
We present an efficient algorithm for computation of surface representations enabling interactive visualization of large dynamic particle data sets. Our method is based on a GPU-accelerated data-parallel algorithm for computing a volumetric density map from Gaussian weighted particles. The algorithm extracts an isovalue surface from the computed density map, using fast GPU-accelerated Marching ...

We present a GPU accelerated volume ray casting system interactively driving a multi-user light field display. The display, driven by a single programmable GPU, is based on a specially arranged array of projectors and a holographic screen and provides full horizontal parallax. The characteristics of the display are exploited to develop a specialized volume rendering technique able to provide mu...
متن کاملAdaptive GPU-accelerated force calculation for interactive rigid molecular docking using haptics.
Molecular docking systems model and simulate in silico the interactions of intermolecular binding. Haptics-assisted docking enables the user to interact with the simulation via their sense of touch but a stringent time constraint on the computation of forces is imposed due to the sensitivity of the human haptic system. To simulate high fidelity smooth and stable feedback the haptic feedback loo...

In this poster, we present how our previously published method of computing continuous 2D scatterplots can be performed with hardware acceleration on a GPU. By doing this, we exploit the parallel processing ability of current graphics hardware to improve the performance of continuous scatterplots by up to two orders of magnitude. For medium-sized tetrahedral data sets, we achieve interactive co...
