Fast Simulations of Gravitational Many-body Problem on RV770 GPU

Abstract

The gravitational many-body problem is a problem concerning the movement of bodies, which are interacting through gravity. However, solving the gravitational many-body problem with a CPU takes a lot of time due to O(N2) computational complexity. In this paper, we show how to speed-up the gravitational many-body problem by using GPU. After extensive optimizations, the peak performance obtained so far is about 1 Tflops.
