GPU Accelerated Derivative-Free Mesh Optimization
Eric Shaffer and George Zagaris
In this chapter, we present a GPU-based implementation of a derivative-free optimization method. The utility of derivative-free optimization is demonstrated in a mesh optimization algorithm that improves the element quality of a surface mesh. The parallelism afforded by the GPU is exploited to optimize a large number of elements simultaneously, resulting in a significant speed-up as compared with serial optimization.
13.1 Introduction, Problem Statement, and Context
Numerical optimization is one of the most prolific scientific computing activities. It is employed in incredibly diverse fields, finding applications in logistics, computational finance, and ...
