Programmable vertex processing unit increases the programmability and enables customizations of transformation and lighting in the graphics pipeline. Furthermore, it offers various effects such as procedural vertex animation and deformation, which were impossible to handle in fixed vertex processing. Since it is hard to find a programmable graphics hardware for the embedded systems such as mobi...

Lattice Boltzmann method models offer a novel framework for the simulation of high Reynolds number dilute gravity currents. The numerical algorithm is well suited to acceleration via implementation on massively parallel computer architectures. Here we present two lattice lock-exchange currents, in which largest turbulent length scales are directly resolved. three-dimensional simulations acceler...
