This paper describes some applications of GPU acceleration in ab initio nuclear structure calculations. Specifically, we discuss GPU acceleration of the software package MFDn, a parallel nuclear structure eigensolver. We modify the matrix construction stage to run partly on the GPU. On the Titan supercomputer at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, this produces a speedup of approximately 2.2x -2.7x for the matrix construction stage and 1.2x -1.4x for the entire run.
Recently, the matrix construction part was ported to the NVIDIA GPU architecture and evaluated on the Oak Ridge's XK7 (Titan) REF .
