GPGPU Programming for Dipolar Field Calculation Cover

Abstract

Accelerating computational processes is paramount in numerical infrastructure development, particularly in applications such as the finite element method (FEM) and extensive calculations for simulating 3D processes in materials. In this work, we introduce a novel technique for computing the magnetostatic field of an ellipsoid particle, leveraging CUDA on a graphical card for parallel processing. The implementation on a GPU resulted in a remarkable 20-fold improvement in calculation speed. This achievement not only expedites research tasks, but also enables the exploration of larger and more intricate simulations, facilitating quicker model refinements and deeper insights into material behaviours under various conditions. The utilization of GPU computing aligns with the broader trend in scientific research and engineering, offering a versatile solution for diverse computational challenges beyond this specific task of magnetism. Overall, our work contributes to the ongoing effort to harness high-performance computing (HPC) technologies for accelerated and more efficient simulations in materials science and related fields.
