At this year's NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference, PhD student Pi-Yueh Chuang presented the work "Using AmgX to Accelerate PETSc Codes." AmgX is an NVIDIA library that provides sparse linear solvers, smoothers and preconditioners on GPU devices. Pi-Yueh presented his work to couple AmgX with our fluid-flow solver, PetIBM. This code solves the Navier-Stokes equations on Cartesian... Continue »
