SOLUTION OF RAILWAY MECHANICAL SYSTEM USING PARALLEL COMPUTING
Keywords:
GPGPU, GPU, CUDA, parallel computing, simulation, railway mechanismAbstract
The Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) attends the computers
problems related with phenomena presented in Applied
Engineering, Scientific Areas and specifically, in the Railway
industry.
So that specifically, we present the resolution process of a
mechanical system through its implementation taking
advantage of the GPU features. A technique that could be
applied into railways mechanical system.
Several analytical models are proposed for mechanical
devices, each of them with different implementation
techniques; but our advantage is to use the GPU multiple
processors over two programming environments executed in
a traditional form.
The computational times are picked up to determine the
strengths and weaknesses using GPU with respect to
conventional computers.
