GRAPE (GRavity PipE) processors are special purpose computers for simulation of classical particles. The performanceof MD-GRAPE, one of the GRAPEs developed for molecular dynamics, was investigated....
SPH Simulations with Reconfigurable Hardware Accelerator (2006)
Nakasato, N., Hamada, T., Fukushige, T.
We present a novel approach to accelerate astrophysical hydrodynamical simulations. In astrophysical many-body simulations, GRAPE (GRAvity piPE) system has been widely used by many researchers....
Collisional Stellar Dynamics, Gas Dynamics and Special Purpose Computing (2002)
Spurzem, R., Makino, J., Fukushige, T., Lienhart, G., Kugel, A., Maenner, R., ...
Challenging stellar dynamical problems, such as the study of gravothermal oscillations in star clusters, have in the past initiated the very successful building of GRAPE special purpose computers. It...
The Time Scale of Escape from Star Clusters (1999)
In this paper a cluster is modelled as a smooth potential (due to the cluster stars) plus the steady tidal field of the Galaxy. In this model there is a minimum energy below which stars cannot...
The PCI Interface for GRAPE Systems: PCI-HIB (1997)
Kawai, A., Fukushige, T., Taiji, M., Makino, J., Sugimoto, D.
We developed a PCI interface for GRAPE systems. GRAPE(GRAvity piPE) is a special-purpose computer for gravitational N-body simulations. A GRAPE system consists of GRAPE processor boards and a host...
