Energy

The oil and gas industry has been a long time user of technical computing for applications as diverse as seismic interpretation to reservoir modeling and 3D-depth migration studies. Technical computing provides the crucial edge they need to gain sustainable competitive advantage in a rapidly changing world.

ArrayFire let geoscientists and engineers focus on their work by giving them a single, easy-to-use interface to GPU computing resources. It allows faster runtimes for jobs, rapid prototyping on GPU infrastructures, and maximum utilization of hardware technology already available in the enterprise. AccelerEyes enables the energy industry to deliver results as quickly as possible.

Ground Water Simulations Louisiana State University

Speedup: >20X

Lattice Boltzmann Models - Ground Water Simulations Authors: Kevin R. Tubbs and Frank T-C. Tsai at Louisiana State University Speedup: >20X A lattice Boltzmann method for solving the shallow water equations and the advection-dispersion equation is developed and implemented on graphics processing unit (GPU)-based architectures. The proposed LBM is implemented to an NVIDIA Computing Processor in a single GPU workstation. GPU computing is performed using AccelerEyes software. Mass transport with velocity-dependent dispersion in shallow water flow is simulated by combining the MRT-LBM model and the TRT-LBM model. The GPU parallel performance increases as the grid size increases. The results indicate the promise of the GPU-accelerated LBM for modeling mass transport phenomena in shallow water flows.

Shallow Water Fluid Flow Louisiana State University

Speedup: 10X

Shallow Water Fluid Flow Authors: Louisiana State University Speedup: 10X A lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) on high performance computing (HPC) environments for three-dimensional shallow water flow fields coupled to mass transport is developed. LBM is an attractive method for solving the multilayered shallow water equations because the extension to multilayer is straight forward with all of the simplicities and advantages of the LBM in mass transport in shallow water flows and the LBM performance on central processing unit (CPU)-based and graphics processing unit (GPU)-based HPC environments.   Learn More Last Updated: 6 Sep 2009
