Design and Manufacturing using GPUs

چکیده
Graphics processing units (GPUs) have recently evolved into programmable parallel processors capable of performing general-purpose computational tasks. We present some algorithms that utilize GPUs to speed up traditional operations in design and manufacturing. One significant operation in Computer Aided Design (CAD) is the evaluation and rendering of trimmed NURBS surfaces. Another important problem in manufacturability analysis is the evaluation of undercut volumes. We have developed parallel GPU algorithms that are at least an order of magnitude faster than traditional CPU-based algorithms in performing these operations.

Accelerating high-order WENO schemes using two heterogeneous GPUs
A double-GPU code is developed to accelerate WENO schemes. The test problem is a compressible viscous flow. The convective terms are discretized using third- to ninth-order WENO schemes and the viscous terms are discretized by the standard fourth-order central scheme. The code written in CUDA programming language is developed by modifying a single-GPU code. The OpenMP library is used for parall...
متن کاملAn approach to Improve Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm Using CUDA
The time consumption in solving computationally heavy problems has always been a concern for computer programmers. Due to simplicity of its implementation, the PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) is a suitable meta-heuristic algorithm for solving computationally heavy problems. However, despite the simplicity, the algorithm is inefficient for solving real computationally heavy problems but the pr...
