Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods for structured and unstructured reservoir simulation using parallel processing on GPU clusters to balance the computational load.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for reservoir simulation, which comprises: distributing new fluid pressures and compositions determined for the reservoir to one or more GPU's by a respectively linked CPU wherein the new fluid pressures and compositions are distributed to each GPU with grid cells that are nearest multi-phase grid cells or source and sink terms; performing a multi-phase flash calculation on each GPU that was distributed new fluid pressures and compositions…
