Toward GPGPU accelerated human electromechanical cardiac simulations
In this paper, we look at the acceleration of weakly coupled electromechanics using the graphics processing unit (GPU). Specifically, we port to the GPU a number of components of CHeart--a CPU-based finite element code developed for simulating multi-physics problems. On the basis of a criterion of computational cost, we implemented on the GPU the ODE and PDE solution steps for the electrophysio...
متن کاملSource-to-Source Optimization of CUDA C for GPU Accelerated Cardiac Cell Modeling
Large and complex systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) arise in diverse areas of science and engineering, and pose special challenges on a streaming processor owing to the large amount of state they manipulate. We describe a set of domain-specific source transformations on CUDA C that improved performance by ×6.7 on a system of ODEs arising in cardiac electrophysiology running on t...
متن کاملJunctional rhythm quantity and duration during slow pathway radiofrequency ablation in patients with atrioventricular nodal re-entry supraventricular tachycardia.
AIM The occurrence of accelerated junctional rhythm during radiofrequency energy delivery at the region of the slow pathway is a well-recognized marker of successful treatment of atrioventricular nodal re-entry tachycardia (AVNRT). Our aim was to evaluate if the quantity and duration of accelerated junctional rhythm during radiofrequency ablation of the slow pathway is correlated with residual ...
متن کاملSimulations of Complex and Microscopic Models of Cardiac Electrophysiology Powered by Multi-GPU Platforms
Key aspects of cardiac electrophysiology, such as slow conduction, conduction block, and saltatory effects have been the research topic of many studies since they are strongly related to cardiac arrhythmia, reentry, fibrillation, or defibrillation. However, to reproduce these phenomena the numerical models need to use subcellular discretization for the solution of the PDEs and nonuniform, heter...
متن کاملAlgoritmos paralelos e adaptativos no tempo e no espaço para simulação numérica da eletrofisiologia do coração
Computational models have become valuable tools for the study of the electrical behavior of the heart. However, the high complexity of the biophysical processes translates into expensive computational models. In this work we propose, implement and combine strategies using parallel computing and graphical processing unit (GPU), adaptive meshes in space and time adaptive methods in order to reduc...
