abstract

Hardware accelerators (such as Nvidia's CUDA GPUs) have tremendous promise for computational science, because they can deliver large gains in performance at relatively low cost. In this work, we focus on the use of Nvidia's Tesla GPU for high-precision (double, quadruple and octal precision) numerical simulations in the area of black hole physics -- more specifically, solving a partial-differential-equation using finite-differencing. We describe our approach in detail and present the final performance results as compared with a single-core desktop processor and also the Cell BE. We obtain mixed results -- order-of-magnitude gains in overall performance in some cases and negligible gains in others.

On Computational CUDA Studies of Black Hole Shadows

physics.gen-ph · 2026-04-07 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

CUDA-based ray tracing shows black hole shadows and emission rates vary with global monopole, charge, and rotation parameters but are insensitive to the Euler-Heisenberg nonlinearity, yielding observational bounds on those three quantities.
