Implicit numerical multidimensional heat-conduction algorithm parallelization and acceleration on a graphics card

Original language description

Analytical solutions are much less computationally intensive than numerical ones, and moreover, they are more accurate because they do not contain numerical errors; however, they can only describe a small group of simple heat-conduction prob- lems. A numerical simulation of heat conduction is often used as it is able to describe complex problems, but its computational time is much longer, especially for unsteady multidimensional models with temperature-dependent material properties. After a discretization using the implicit scheme, the heat-conduction problem can be described with N non-linear equations, where N is the large number of the elements of the discretized model. This set of equations can be efficiently solved with an iteration of the line-by-line method, based on the heat-flux superposition, although the computational procedure is strictly serial. This means that no parallel computation can be done, which is strictly required when a graphics card is used to accelerate the computation. This paper describes a multidimensional numerical model of unsteady heat conduction solved with the line-by-line method and a modification of this method for a highly parallel computation. An enormous increase in the speed is demonstrated for the modified line-by-line method accelerated on the graphics card, and the durations of the computations for various mesh sizes are compared with the original line-by-line method.
