Efficient GPU Accelerationfor Integrating Large Thermonuclear Networks in Astrophysics

We demonstrate the systematic implementation of recently-developed fast explicit kinetic integration algorithms on modern graphics processing unit (GPU) accelerators. We take as representative test cases Type Ia supernova explosions with extremely stiff thermonuclear reaction networks having 150–365...
