High Performance Direct Gravitational N - body Simulations on Graphics Processing Units An implementation in CUDA
At the end of 2006 NVIDIA introduced a new generation of graphical processing units (GPUs) (the so called G80 architecture). These GPUs are more powerful than any of the GPUs released before; they offer up to 350 billion floating-point operations per second (GFLOP/s) in certain situations. With the introduction of this hardware NVIDIA released a new programming environment that makes it easier ...
متن کاملHigh Performance Direct Gravitational N-body Simulations on Graphics Processing Units
We present the results of gravitational direct N-body simulations using the commercial graphics processing units (GPU) NVIDIA Quadro FX1400 and GeForce 8800GTX, and compare the results with GRAPE-6Af special purpose hardware. The force evaluation of the N-body problem was implemented in Cg using the GPU directly to speed-up the calculations. The integration of the equations of motions were, run...
متن کاملHigh Performance Direct Gravitational N-body Simulations on Graphics Processing Units II: An implementation in CUDA
We present the results of gravitational directN -body simulations using the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) on a commercial NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTX designed for gaming computers. The force evaluation of the N -body problem is implemented in “Compute Unified Device Architecture” (CUDA) using the GPU to speed-up the calculations. We tested the implementation on three different N -body codes: two di...
متن کاملA performance comparison of different graphics processing units running direct NN-body simulations
Hybrid computational architectures based on the joint power of Central Processing Units and Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) are becoming popular and powerful hardware tools for a wide range of simulations in biology, chemistry, engineering, physics, etc.. In this paper we present a comparison of performance of various GPUs available on market when applied to the numerical integration of the cla...
متن کاملThe Chamomile Scheme: An Optimized Algorithm for N-body simulations on Programmable Graphics Processing Units
We present an algorithm named “Chamomile Scheme”. The scheme is fully optimized for calculating gravitational interactions on the latest programmable Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), NVIDIA GeForce8800GTX, which has (a) small but fast shared memories (16 K Bytes × 16) with no broadcasting mechanism and (b) floating point arithmetic hardware of 500 Gflop/s but only for single precision. Based on ...
