Exploiting Massively Parallel Architectures for the Solution of Diffusion and Propagation Problems

摘要

Many problems in several fields like physics, chemistry, biology and engineering lack an analytical solution able to provide a satisfactory phenomena description. Then a numerical solution becomes the only viable alternative. The use of massively parallel architectures often allows one to obtain in an easy way a comprehensive picture of the behaviour of the solution. We present here a computational model applied to two different physical problems; our work demonstrates the effectiveness of the approach and its extensibility to many classes of problems in different fields.
