Summary
The dynamic relaxation method has been widely used for the design and analysis
of cable-membrane structures. The method iteratively determines a static solution,
therefore the parallelization of the method can speed up the analysis process. The
method has already been parallelized with the MPI environment. This paper discusses
a new parallelization approach, which is programmed with the NVIDIA CUDA API
and executed on a GPU system. Since a GPU system has a large number of cores and a
separate memory from the computer therefore the original dynamic relaxation method
has to be reorganized. The paper also discusses some performance measurements of
the dynamic relaxation method on GPU systems.
