Numerical models of Eddy Current Testing problems for CPU/GPU based clusters

摘要

This work provide a contribution on the development and implementation of methods and algorithms for the numerical solution of the eddy current problem for Nondestructive Testing applications via computer clusters based on multi core CPU/GPU. The related hardware configuration is, nowadays, increasingly popular in the framework of High Performance Computing (HPC) for realizing both low cost clusters and high-end clusters. Numerical methods, algorithms and codes previously developed for single core CPU (serial computing) should be almost completely to think over to exploit in full the computational power provided from these new environments. This work represents a contribution in this line with reference to the modeling of the Eddy Current Testing (ECT) problem via an integral formulation.
