About: Gravity Pipe

An Entity of Type: Band, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Gravity Pipe (abbreviated GRAPE) is a project which uses hardware acceleration to perform gravitational computations. Integrated with Beowulf-style commodity computers, the GRAPE system calculates the force of gravity that a given mass, such as a star, exerts on others. The project resides at Tokyo University. The GRAPE hardware acceleration component "pipes" the force computation to the general-purpose computer serving as a node in a parallelized cluster as the innermost loop of the gravitational model.

  • Gravity Pipe (abbreviated GRAPE) is a project which uses hardware acceleration to perform gravitational computations. Integrated with Beowulf-style commodity computers, the GRAPE system calculates the force of gravity that a given mass, such as a star, exerts on others. The project resides at Tokyo University. The GRAPE hardware acceleration component "pipes" the force computation to the general-purpose computer serving as a node in a parallelized cluster as the innermost loop of the gravitational model. Its shortened name, GRAPE, was chosen as an intentional reference to the Apple Inc. line of computers. (en)
  • GRAPE(グレープ)は、東京大学総合文化研究科に所属していた杉本大一郎、戎崎俊一、牧野淳一郎、伊藤智義、らによって開発された重力多体問題専用計算機である。GRAPE ではN体シミュレーションの計算量の大部分を占める重力相互作用の計算を専用のパイプラインを組み込んだハードウェアで高速に処理する。GRAPE の名前は GRAvity PiPE の略称に由来する。 (ja)
