10.04.2010
We are mourning together with Polishnation. Such tragedy has never happened in Polish and European historyafter WW2.
SpeedIT Tools
10.01.2010
Vratis plans to release the SpeedITTools Library in the 2Q of 2010. In the meantime, a blog describing the current state of development has been published.
The SpeedIT Tools library provides a set of accelerated solvers forsparse linear systems of equations. Manifold acceleration, e.g. morethan an order of magnitude, is achieved with a single reasonably pricedNVIDIA Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) that supporst CUDA andproprietary advanced optimisation techniques. The library can be usedin a wide spectrum of domains arising from problems with underlying 2Dand 3D geometry, such as computational fluid dynamics,electromagnetics, thermodynamics, materials, acoustics, computer visionand graphics, robotics, semiconductor devices and structuralengineering. The library can be also used for problems without definedgeometry such as quantum chemistry, statistics, power networks andother graphs and chemical process simulation. All computations areperformed with single or double floating point precision. Two linearsystem solvers and two preconditioners are supplied.
