Products & Services
Acunum was founded out of the perceived need for a company that can provide acute numerical algorithm development and simulation codes to customers with a fixed budget and a finite time frame.
The company is currently focused on the use of MATLAB and graphics processing units [GPU] to perform efficient parallel computations. Many arithmetically intensive algorithms can be accelerated by as much as 15 times when implemented on a graphics processor rather than on a standard central processor. For the scientist, engineer, or other end-user of software using GPU implemented algorithms, this corresponds to improvements in productivity and overall efficiency. The investment in developing software with GPU accelerated computations is thus returned.
Found below are a selection of presentations and codes from Acunum. These illustrate our capabilities as a provider of customized efficient modeling and simulation tools.
MATLAB & AccelerEyes Tools
Acunum makes use of the graphics processing unit acceleration available through Jacket from AccelerEyes.
Listed on the MATLAB file exchange is an example of a tool that was developed by Acunum in cooperation with the University of Arizona Department of Mathematics. These functions allow one to numerically invert a Laplace transform via an algorithm known as the Weeks method. A comment about this work from AccelerEyes can be found here. An recent presentation by Acunum's CEO Patrick Kano about numerical Laplace transform inversion can be viewed on the NVIDIA GPU Technology conference website here.
C Tools
Graphics processing unit accelerated computing in C is another focus area for the company. A C++ code for the Weeks method that mirrors the MATLAB implementation described above has also been developed at Acunum. The code is available for download and is accompanied by documentation.
Numerical methods for applied differential equations are another area of expertise. A copy of the textbook on this topic by Acunum co-founder, professor Moysey Brio, is available as of fall 2010.
