Method and arrangement for determining the memory requirement in order to carry out simulations based on FEM node networks using a graphics processor unit

摘要

The invention relates to determining the memory requirement in order to carry out simulations based on FEM node networks using a graphics processor unit (12), with the following steps: , with nodes each being able to be contained in a plurality of simplices (2) and the simplices (2) each having a dimension (k) which corresponds to the dimension (D) of the node network; b) determining, for each node (i = 1, 5 , 6, 18) of the node network or a considered part of the node network, the number of nodes of the node network within those simplices (2) in which the node is contained; andc) determining a memory requirement of a data memory of the graphics processor unit (12) based on the number of nodes of the node network or of the considered part of the node network determined in step b).
