Desktop Computers Can Handle Supercomputer Simulations of Cardiac Activity (7 of 7)

Caption

Researchers have developed a system that uses graphics processing chips designed for gaming applications and software that runs on ordinary web browsers to produce simulations that formerly required high-powered computers. Shown are Abouzar Kaboudian, Flavio Fenton and Elizabeth Cherry. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the March 27th, 2019, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by A. Kaboudian at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA, and colleagues was titled, "Real-time interactive simulations of large-scale systems on personal computers and cell phones: Toward patient-specific heart modeling and other applications."
