Abstract There is a growing trend towards solving problems of computational mechanics by parallelization strategies. The traditional approach is to implement the parallelization procedures on CPUs based on the MPI or OpenMP paradigms. Recent efforts have been made to implement computational tasks on general-purpose programmable graphics hardware (GPGPU). The GPU is specially well-suited to address problems that can be formulated in form of data-parallel computations with high arithmetic intensity. This work addresses the implementation of the Longman's integration method on graphics hardware. A serial implementation of Longman's method was rewritten under the SIMD (Single Input Multiple… More >
