N-body simulation of binary star mass transfer using NVDIA GPUs
Shaukat Goderya, Edward Smith, Baylor Fain +3
Binary star systems are of particular interest to astronomers because they can be used as astrophysical laboratories to study the properties and processes of stars. Between 70% to…
N-body Approach to the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP)
Johnny Seay, Edwin Gonzalez, Stephen Lowe +2
In the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), a list of cities and the distances between them are given. The goal is to find the shortest possible route that visits each city exactly on…
Trignometry Without Geometry
John Gresham, Bryant Wyatt, Jesse Crawford
The development of the trigonometric functions in introductory texts usually follows geometric constructions using right triangles or the unit circle. While these methods are satis…
Real Polynomials with a Complex Twist
Michael Warren, John Gresham, Bryant Wyatt
Student appreciation of a function is enhanced by understanding the graphical representation of that function. From the real graph of a polynomial, students can identify real-value…
Transcendental Functions with a Complex Twist
Michael Warren, John Gresham, Bryant Wyatt
In our previous paper, Real Polynomials with a Complex Twist [see http://archives.math.utk.edu/ICTCM/VOL28/A040/paper.pdf], we used advancements in computer graphics that allow us…
Matter and GPUs: Should the Focus of Our Modeling Classes be Adjusted?
Billy J. Fournier, Bryant M. Wyatt
We have two basic methods of modeling matter. We can treat matter as a continuum and solve differential equations or we can treat it discretely and solve massive N-body problems. T…
Fractal Art Generation using GPUs
Will. D. Mayfield, Justin. C. Eiland, Taylor. J. Hutyra +2
Fractal image generation algorithms exhibit extreme parallelizability. Using general purpose graphics processing unit (GPU) programming to implement escape-time algorithms for Juli…
Creating an Isotopically Similar Earth-Moon System with Correct Angular Momentum from a Giant Impact
Bryant M. Wyatt, Jonathan M. Petz, William J. Sumpter +7
The giant impact hypothesis is the dominant theory explaining the formation of our Moon. However, its inability to produce an isotopically similar Earth-Moon system with correct an…
N-Body Simulation of the Formation of the Earth-Moon System from a Single Giant Impact
Justin C. Eiland, Travis C. Salzillo, Brett H. Hokr +2
The giant impact hypothesis is the dominant theory of how the Earth-Moon system was formed. Models have been created that can produce a disk of debris with the proper mass and comp…
