3D Mantle Convection - Geodynamics
Authors: Boise State, University of Colorado, University of Minnesota The authors introduce a GPU implementation of a three-dimensional mantle convection at a high Rayleigh number to the solid earth geophysics community, especially Geodynamics. They outline code development time, compare performance of CPUs versus GPUs and deliver powerful visualizations. Last Updated: 10 Feb 2010 |

Tsunami Modeling
Authors: University of Minnesota, Boise State, Saint Scholastica , and NCAR Natural catastrophic disasters, like tsunamis, commonly strike with little warning. For most people, tsunamis are underrated as major hazards. People sometimes wrongly believe that they occur infrequently and only along distant coasts. Tsunamis are usually caused by earthquakes. Seismic signals can give some margin of warning, since the speed of tsunami waves travels at 1/30 the speed of seismic waves. Still there is little time between the creation of the tsunami and its impact - typically between one to two hours for distant earthquakes and much less for locations in the near field region. Jacket was used to run an RBF simulation on the GPU with a time to solution not available by other alternatives. Using Jacket, the authors were able to access the GPU without leaving the MATLAB environment. Last Updated: 20 Dec 2009 |

Video Processing
Authors: Google and Stanford University Video content analysis is the basis for categorizing videos and enabling search by content. Recently there has been a growing interest in using sparse-coding methods to extract motion features in video in support of video content analysis. In this application, Jacket and GPUs were used to improve performance by substantially accelerating the solution of the L1-regularized least-squares optimization problem. Last Updated: 13 Jan 2010 |

Shallow Water Fluid Flow
Authors: Louisiana State University 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 and all simplicities and advantages of the LBM in mass transport in shallow water flows and the LBM performance on central processing units (CPU)-based and graphics processing unit (GPU)-based HPC environments.

Geolocation
Authors: BAE Systems Geolocation is the identification of the real-world geographic location of a target of interest. In this application, the system receives the signal with an array of several antennas and computes the direction of arrival of the radio energy by measuring the time difference of arrival (or the phase difference) at the different antennas.

Drug Delivery Model
Authors: Georgia Institute of Technology In this work, MATLAB is used to simulate the delivery of novel nanoparticle chemotherapy drug to cancerous tissue. Simulation allows scientists to predict experimental outcomes and thus reduce the cost of development and time to clinical relevance. The simulation model includes blood vessels, tumor cells, and healthy cells and an engine to calculate the spatial distributions of both drug and oxygen. Jacket is used to speed up the diffusion calculations for the drug and oxygen within the tissue. Last Updated: 09 Nov 2008 |

Bioinformatics
Authors: Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a general computing technique to turn a distance matrix into a set of reconstructed points with pair-wise relationships approximating the original distances by points located in a usually low-dimensional space. Jacket is used to enhance execution of the HiT-MDS procedure and delivers considerable performance improvement. Last Updated: 13 Jan 2009 |
