| Sep 30 at 22:26 | comment | added | whpowell96 | Yes you are correct that the two algorithms are very different. I only mention is here because LBM are very popular example of GPU scaling in scientific computing. The key is that the algorithm must have components that can be reduced to embarrassingly parallel operations with little necessary cross communication. It seems like PIC on GPUs is [active research[(sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010465521000503) with some promising results | |
| Sep 30 at 21:25 | comment | added | ConvexHull | I don't think LBM is a good example here. Actually both methods (LBM and PIC) use the Boltzmann equations as a starting point, however LBM is a pure Eulerian model whereas PIC is primarily a Lagrangian model (often combined with EM fields). The numerics and algorithms are rather different. However, I would agree that TF is a poor choice for PIC. | |
