Finite element implementation on Graphical Processing Unit (GPU)

This interdisciplinary project consists in porting the finite element library Akantu, onto a GPU architecture. Akantu is an object-oriented and vectorized open source library. The project will be divided in two main parts. The first consists in the study of Akantu’s library and in digging into literature for the different existing solutions allowing to optimize Finite Element codes on GPU. This part of the study aims at deciding where and how it is interesting to put coding efforts to achieve significant performance gain. The second part of the project will be to implement these choices and to validate the programming on one/several test case(s). This project would be conducted in the LSMS (ENAC) in conjunction with the LSP (IC), and can be done by a student from IC or ENAC with the requirements of having a good knowledge in C/C++.
