A GPU is also a great tool for general-purpose computations. There are a few ways to couple it with Wolfram Language:

  • CUDALink
  • OpenCLLink
  • LibraryLink

The first option requires hardware from Nvidia, which is a massive drawback considering there are many other processors on the market capable of crunching numbers. The last option allows integrating any dynamic library written in C/Rust (probably there are other bindings as well) into our Kernel, but the amount of effort required to write a general-purpose GPU library and deal with cross-platform issues is quite cumbersome and defeats the whole purpose of using WL here.

We will go with the most cross-platform and hardware-agnostic solution: OpenCL 馃殔

Solving Maxwell's equation for 1D case with two interfaces. Based on the work of John B. Schneider "Understanding the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method" 2023 we will try to solve 1D Maxwell's equation for electro-magnetic wave propagating through a non-dispersive plate

Working in condensed matter physics, I (JerryI) often need to represent crystal structures based on their CIF, JSON, or other formats. Sometimes, it is quite tricky to parse these data files since you also need to determine the given symmetry operation when constructing a unit cell. Here, we will do it using AI Copilot 馃
