Algorithms designed to efficiently solve the classical N-body problem of mechanics fit well on GPU hardware and exhibit excellent scalability on many GPUs. Their computational intensity makes them a promising approach for other applications amenable to an N-body formulation. Adding features such as autotuning makes multipole-type algorithms ideal for heterogeneous computing environments.
One of the challenging advents in computer science in recent years was the fast evolution of parallel processors, specially the GPU - graphics processing unit. GPUs today play a major role in many computational environments, most notably those regarding real-time graphics applications, such as games. The digital game industry is one of the main driving forces behind GPUs, it persistently elevates...
Advances in GPU technology have propelled the GPU into arenas far afield from the traditional, isolated roles they have previously played. With hundreds of processing units in a single GPU, substantial speedups can be achieved by harnessing their power to augment the performance of the traditional single- or multi-core CPU on certain compute-intensive applications. However, utilizing the GPU requires...
