Abstract
In our daily life, there are many rheological objects like human tissues and human organs. FEM (Finite Element Method) is widely used in the numerical computation of rheological object deformation. Compared to another deformation method, FEM can simulate the deformation more accurate but takes longer computation time. Simulation of rheological object deformation is often required of real time processing in surgical simulation. To shorten the computation time, we apply GPGPU (General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units) in the computation of rheological deformation. This computation mainly consists of matrix computation. Thus, we will implement matrix computation to GPGPU for real time computation.
