A Fast Poisson Solver with Periodic Boundary Conditions for GPU Clusters in Various Configurations
Dale Nicholas Rattermann · OhioLink ETD Center (Ohio Library and Information Network) · 2014
Fast Poisson solvers using the Fast Fourier Transform on uniform grids are especially suited for parallel implementation, making them appropriate for portability on graphical processing unit (GPU) devices.The goal of the following work was to implement, test, and evaluate a fast Poisson solver for periodic boundary conditions for use on a variety of GPU configurations.throughout my research.There is no question I have asked that Bracy has left unanswered, and all of his efforts are wholeheartedly appreciated.My sincere appreciation also goes to Dr. Hugh Thornburg for providing me with an opportunity to be a part of what I consider the vanguard of scientific computing.My parents, Jackie and Dale Rattermann, are the cornerstone of my existence.I cannot thank them enough for all of their love and support, and for raising me to explore my own potential.Last, but certainly not least
