Abstract
Restricted solid on solid surface growth models can be mapped onto binary lattice gases. We show that efficient simulation algorithms can be realized on GPUs either by CUDA or by OpenCL programming. We consider a deposition/evaporation model following Kardar–Parisi–Zhang growth in d+1 dimensions, related to the Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process. Up to 100 - 400 x speedup can be achieved with respect to the serial code running on a I5 core. This permits studying disorder and aging behavior in these system.
