[Question #682070]: Is it possible to enable GPU acceleration for other Yade commands except FlowEngine command?


New question #682070 on Yade:

Hi all,

I'm a Yade user and would like to ask a question about GPU acceleration for Yade. Previously I have asked a question before about GPU acceleration for using Yade in HPC [1].

The response I get is that GPU acceleration in Yade only work for "FlowEngine" and not other commands, so there is such method as enable GPU entirely for Yade to run in HPC.  I have also read explanation about this through [2].  However, I would like to ask whether there is any way we can enable GPU acceleration for other Yade commands,  where the number of particles generated is between 40k - 80k.  Currently when I run a direct shear test simulation with 40k particles (which do not incorporate FlowEngine command), it would take me around 4 hours to complete, so I was thinking is it possible to apply GPU acceleration in some sense to speed up my simulation?

I would really appreciate if someone can give me some reply on this matter.

Thank you and regards,
Nicholas Ng
