On the efficient numerical simulation of heterogeneous anisotropic diffusion models for tumor invasion using GPUs.

The aim of this article is to show how continuous mathematical models for tumor dynamics can be solved efficiently using commodity Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) found in personal and portable computers. The test set of equations models haptotaxis and heterogeneous anisotropic diffusion of the...
