Karamelo: A Multi-CPU/GPU C++ Parallel MPM Code

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Material Point Method

Part of the book series: Scientific Computation ((SCIENTCOMP))

  • 1000 Accesses

Abstract

The Matlab code presented in the previous chapter is best suited for people new to the MPM who want to learn the method. This code is flexible, but slow. So for long term research, a better code is needed. This chapter presents the design and implementation of Karamelo—our open source multi-CPU/GPU parallel C++ package for the material point method. Karamelo has been designed to retain the flexibility of small codes while being extremely fast and powerful (specially with the recently added support of GPUs).
