BU's College of Engineering, Center for Computational Science (CCS), and Information Systems & Technology (IS&T) announce a significant expansion to the facilities for research computing with the acquisition of a GPU-accelerated cluster. At 80 teraflop/s in peak double-precision performance, this system will be the fastest ever deployed at BU. The new computing resource was made possible by... Continue »
FMM-based vortex method for simulation of isotropic turbulence on GPUs, compared with a spectral method, Rio Yokota, L. A. Barba, Computers & Fluids, in press (available online 13 August 2012), doi:10.1016/j.compfluid.2012.08.002 This paper presents the results of comparing a Lagrangian vortex method with a trusted spectral method for the simulation of isotropic fluid turbulence. The numerical engine of the vorticity-based fluid... Continue »
