Abstract

Summary N-Body codes for scientific applications like astrophysics are usually highly demanding in computing power, and even the application of cutting edge computer technologies still doesn't satisfy the need of calculation power for lots of most interesting computational problems. This work investigates the utilization of new computing methods based on reconfigurable logic devices in order to overcome the limitations of current computer technology in the case of hydrodynamic N-Body simulation. The implementation of the central part of a state-of-the-art hydrodynamic simulation code with a resulting performance of 3.9 GFlops on a single reconfigurable chip is presented which demonstrates the prospects of this approach.
