Accelerated Simulation of P Systems on the GPU: A Survey

  • Conference paper
Bio-Inspired Computing - Theories and Applications

Abstract

The acceleration of P system simulations is required increasingly, since they are at the core of model verification and validation processes. For this purpose, GPU computing is an alternative to more classic approaches in Parallel Computing. It provides a manycore platform with a level of high parallelism at a low cost. In this paper, we survey the developments of P systems simulators using the GPU, and analyze some performance considerations.
