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.
