Assessing Computational Fluid Dynamics on GPU Using Portable Languages

Hardware acceleration, especially through Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), is vital for enhancing computational speed and efficiency. GPUs are designed for parallel processing, enabling them to handle multiple data sets simultaneously. This makes them highly efficient at rendering graphics, image processing, and machine learning tasks. In contrast, CPUs process operations sequentially, making GPUs faster at computations.
