Real time Wave Simulation and Visualization with a Boussinesq-type Model on GPU (see abstract below)

Abstract:

Real-time 2D simulations and visualization of coastal waves can be done only by employing massive parallel processing. Performing the simulation part is already possible through different models running on hundreds of CPU’s. However real-time visualization of the results is much easier if the simulations are done on a GPU. Moreover, cost of a user platform with a high-end GPU is only a small fraction of a platform with hundreds of CPU’s.

The presentation, firstly, elaborates the key differences between different mathematical models, i.e. non-linear shallow water equations and Boussinesq equations. Then it introduces a hybrid FVM-FDM numerical scheme to solve the latter one. The model is firstly examined in its one dimensional form on MATLAB employing CPU and then it is ported to GPU. A few technical aspects of porting the model to GPU will be discussed. The 2D model is also developed using MATLAB and running on GPU and results will be presented in the seminar.
