Optimizing Memory Access Patterns for Cellular Automata on GPUs

James Balasalle, Mario A. Lopez and Matthew J. Rutherford

A cellular automaton (CA) is a discrete mathematical model used to calculate the global behavior of a complex system using (ideally) simple local rules. The space of interest is tessellated into a grid of cells, and the behavior of each cell is captured in state variables whose values at any instant are functions of a small neighborhood around the cell. The dynamic behavior of the system is modeled by the evolution of cell states that are computed repeatedly for all cells in discrete time steps. CA-based models are highly parallelizable as, in each time step, the new state is determined completely by the neighborhood ...
