Project

Development of geotechnical discrete element calculations on GPU

Developments in the graphical cards for computers (GPU) have led to a calculation power in these cards that significantly exceeds the calculation power of the central processing unit (CPU). This project aims to utilize this power to perform geotechnical calculations using discrete elements by adapting existing software originally developed for the gaming industry.
