摘要：

This study reports a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-based parallelization of the Distinct Lattice Spring Model (DLSM) for geomechanics simulation. The DLSM is a newly developed numerical model for rock dynamics problems, i.e., dynamic failure and wave propagation. Despite its applicability, one of the drawbacks of this model is the high computational load for practical simulations. To tackle this problem, a CPU with a Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) is adopted to parallelize the DLSM code. The performance of the GPU DLSM code is tested on two computers equipped with modern CPU cards. The results show that significant performance improvements are gained from CPU parallelization of the DLSM code (the maximum speed up achieved was 23x). (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
