چکیده

As general purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU) matures, more complicated scientific applications are being targeted to utilize the data-level parallelism available on a GPU. Implementing physically-based simulation on data-parallel hardware requires preprocessing overhead which affects application performance. We discuss our implementation of physics-based data structures that provide significant performance improvements when used on dataparallel hardware. These data structures allow us to maintain a physics-based abstraction of the underlying data, reduce programmer effort and obtain 6x-8x speedup over previously implemented GPU kernels.

GPU-SPH simulation of Tsunami-like wave interaction with a seawall associated with underwater

Investigation of the waves generated by underwater disturbances gives precious insight into the effect of man-made underwater explosions as well as natural phenomena, such as underwater volcanoes or oceanic meteor impact. On the other hand, prediction of the effects of such waves on the coastal installations and structures is required for preparation worthwhile criteria for coastal engineers to...

Large steps in GPU-based deformable bodies simulation

The interactive deformation and visualization of volumetric objects is still a challenging problem for many application areas. We present a novel integrated system which implements physically-based deformation and volume visualization of tetrahedral meshes on modern graphics hardware by exploiting the last features of vertex and fragment shaders. We achieve fast and stable deformation of tetrah...

GPU Simulation of Finite Element Facial Soft-Tissue Models

Physically-based animation techniques enable more realistic and accurate animation to be created. We present a GPU-based finite element (FE) simulation and interactive visualisation system for efficiently producing realisticlooking animations of facial movement, including expressive wrinkles. It is optimised for simulating multi-layered voxel-based models using the total Lagrangian explicit dyn...

Physically-Based Tree Animation and Leaf Deformation Using CUDA in Real-Time

This paper presents a novel physically-based parallel approach to animate tree motion in realtime and the leaf deformation is accelerated on a CUDA-based platform. Since physically-based tree animation can hardly achieve realtime performance due to the complicated geometry and expensive calculation. Therefore in this paper, three main measures are taken to overcome this problem. Firstly, we bri...

Ultra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...
