GPU@EPFL

NVIDIA's June/July 2010 GPU Computing Webinars are now open for registration.
The new webinars series features many topics presented by invited guest speakers in addition to NVIDIA staff. New webinars include an overview of MAGMA by Prof Jack Dongarra, DirectCompute presentation by Matt Sandy from Microsoft, and presentations by Accelereyes, EM Photonics, MainConcept and others. See below for details.

LMMM - Laboratoire de modélisation multi-échelles des matériaux: Parallel Multi-Scale Hemodynamics

We outline a computational method for clinical cardiovascular diagnosis based on massive simulations running on the IBM Blue Gene architecture and Graphical Processing Units (GPU) commodity hardware. Our approach is based on the combination of microscopic Molecular Dynamics (MD) with a hydrokinetic Lattice Boltzmann (LB) method and takes into explicit account the hydrodynamic interactions among the suspended bodies and the surrounding fluid. The end result is a multi-physics/scale parallel code, called MUPHY. The software exhibits excellent scalability on the Blue Gene/L platform and multi-GPUs. By developing a series of ad hoc optimization techniques, MUPHY proves extremely efficient in simulating irregular domains, such as for blood flows in extended coronary arteries, with the capability of accessing physical information at micrometric scale.

DIT makes available to the EPFL community two experimental HPC platforms: one is based on the Cell processor technology and the other on the GPU as used for general purpose computations. The goal of these experimental clusters is to offer the possibility to evaluate and test these new technologies.
