We learn how to build nVidia GPU-based (super)computers, network and program them for HPC (High Performance Computing) using CUDA C language. We apply all this to do some astrophysical simulations related to forming planetary systems.

[from Josh] Progress Report
I would like to say I'm almost done my CUDA conversion process but who knows with debugging. I would say my best guess is that I'll be done in 4 days, so by Monday. It should hopefully include a Cpu version and working CUDA version of a tau modeling polar coord simulation.
Also me and James were discussing how it would be possible for an adaptive leapfrog scheme and came to the conclusion that we would have to adjust the time stepping globally to do it. Individual time step adjustment would lead to skewed time system since some particles would not update in synchronous time with all the rest (causing undesired shadow effects).
Josh,
