OpenSees on GPUs?
I've been using OpenSeesSP lately to speed up some large models. I'd like to do a big parametric study with models on the order of 170,000 dof. Has anyone had any success in running opensees on the GPU? I'd like to send asynchronous models to the GPU to run independently to save time.

Re: OpenSees on GPUs?
the only release of any GPUs software for OpenSees is related to solvers .. noone has released code that does the whol simulation on a GPU (it isnot that straight forward as GPUs are somewhat dumb processors and they have to be all be doing the same thing at once (i.e. adding two numbers) .. with nonlinear code as different parts of the model can be in different phases this can get very tricky to do in code .. i have seen a paper of somebody doing it with the OpenSees source code, but nothing was ever submitted.
