Accelerating Computation and Visualization of Reaction-Diffusion System Pattern Dynamics with Programmable GPU

Abstract

In recent years, Computer Graphics (CG) technology has been used in various fields of industry. It is crucial to consider efficiency as well as quality in order to popularize the CG technology further. Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) have recently emerged and become very common for researchers and practitioners to reduce time not only for rendering but also for computation itself. In this article, we present an initial report on the test use of a GPU to accelerate the computation and visualization of the Grey-Scott model to produce attractive reaction-diffusion patterns.
