AbstractRecently, general-purpose computation on graphics processing units (GPGPU) has become an increasingly popular field of study as graphics processing units (GPUs) continue to be proposed as high performance and relatively low cost implementation platforms for scientific computing applications. Among these applications figure astrophysical N-bodysimulations, which form one of the most challenging problems in computational science. However, in most reported studies, a simple $ \mathcal…
