Solving one-dimensional IHCP with particle swarm optimization using graphics accelerators

摘要

There are several implicit and explicit formulations to solve the Inverse Heat Conduction Problem. One of the most promising methods is the Particle Swarm Optimization; however, it needs a long time to find solutions for large scale problems (large swarm populations). This paper presents the implementation and the evaluation of a parallel approach using graphics accelerators. This GPU implementation is about three times faster than the original CPU based method.
