NIWeek 2012 Big Physics and Science Summit
Presentation by Jan Jacob, University of Hamburg
Abstract:
Learn about a simulation environment for spin and charge transport in semiconductor nanostructures to investigate new devices in spintronics. The algorithm involves inversion and multiplication of extremely large matrices, which presented memory and computational problems. Researchers solved them by developing an efficient and highly parallel implementation in LabVIEW (64-bit) using the new LabVIEW GPU Analysis Toolkit. With the option to prototype GPU algorithms in LabVIEW, researchers cut code development time and shared the application with scientists at different institutes.
