Parallel hyperbolic PDE simulation on clusters: Cell versus GPU

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018) Abstract Increasingly, high-performance computing is looking towards data-parallel computational devices to enhance computational performance. Two technologies that have received significant attention are IBM's Cell Processor and NVIDIA's CUDA programming model for graphics processing unit (GPU) computing. In this paper we investigate the acceleration of parallel hyperbolic partial differential equation simulation on structured grids with explicit time integration on clusters with Cell and GPU backend...
