Hi all,
I'm researching ground effect aerodynamics and am looking into GPGPU to speed up the solution time. I have two multicore processes and an NVIDIA Quadro 4000 GPU with 256 CUDA cores that I want to take advantage of, running on a Windows 7 x64 OS. Do I have to do anything special in the setup to distribute the job between the two processes and the GPU? Thanks. |

The special thing you have to do is to forget CFX move to software which supports it. I do not know of any commercial CFD codes which support GPUs at the moment but there are some open source ones.
I think Fluent has had some changes made so that GPUs can be used to do some specilised parts of the solution such as radiation ray tracing. But I know of no commercial CFD code which uses GPUs to assist in the main solver function. |

Hey, I know this is an old thread... but I'd like to know if the situation has changed since then.
I primarily am interested in running my STAR-CCM+ and Pro-STAR simulations on the Nvidia Quadro 2000 GPU in my workstation. Thanks. |

No change to my knowledge. CFX still does not support GPUs, Fluent supports it for a small number of peripheral models (eg radiation) but if you want proper GPU support you are going to have to move to another code.
I have no idea about Star-CD, you are asking on the wrong forum for that. |
