Powerful computational capabilities have always been sought after by those working in fields that require vast amount of calculations to be done in a relatively short amount of time and a low cost. To meet this needs, we are conducting research in performing high performance building simulation using multi-core CPU and GPU (graphics processing units). By optimizing the numerical algorithm and using the multi-core CPU and GPU, we have successfully accelerated the indoor airflow simulation up to 1,500 times and daylighting simulation up to 12,000 times.
