GPU Accelerated CFD Simulation in Electronics Cooling

Article Preview

Abstract:

CFD(Computer Fluid Dynamics) simulation is widely used in IT industry, it usually based on the latest CPU computing power and software technology, can easily take hours even days. A new 3D Navier-Stokes solver based on the SIMPLE algorithm but totally rewritten from ground up with Nvidia’s CUDA software programming API was studied by investigating the use of the latest GPU technology for an electronics cooling problem. The GPU accelerated CFD simulation by using massively parallel algorithm accelerated the calculation by 3.55 times.
