Fast computation of scattering maps of nanostructures using graphical processing units

General-purpose Computation Using Graphical Processing Units

Graphical Processing Units (GPU) are mainly developed to process intense graphical operations. This has been the purpose for many years; however recent advancements in the architecture of GPUs and how they process data have led to a breakthrough in how we are able to process information. General Purpose Computation using GPUs is a new method of processing information using a GPU and its many pr...

Real-Time Computation of Parameter Fitting and Image Reconstruction Using Graphical Processing Units

In recent years graphical processing units (GPUs) have become a powerful tool in scientific computing. Their potential to speed up highly parallel applications brings the power of high performance computing to a wider range of users. However, programming these devices and integrating their use in existing applications is still a challenging task. In this paper we examined the potential of GPUs ...

GPUBwa -Parallelization of Burrows Wheeler Aligner using Graphical Processing Units

A very popular discipline in bioinformatics is Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) or DNA sequencing. It specifies sequencing methods for determining the order of nucleotide bases; adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine in a molecule of DNA which is then assembled for analysis. A central challenge in DNA sequencing is sequence alignment, whereby fragments of much longer DNA sequence are aligned an...

Accelerating Line of Sight Computation Using Graphics Processing Units

We present a method to accelerate line-ofsight computation for computer generated forces (CGF) using graphics processing units (GPUs). GPUs have become commodity processors and they are part of every game console or PC system. Moreover, their performance has been increasing at a rate faster than CPUs and the trend is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. We present a hybrid algorithm ...
