Abstract
Model order reduction of a dynamical linear time-invariant system appears in many applications from science and engineering. Numerically reliable SVD-based methods for this task require in general \(\mathcal{O}(n^3)\) floating-point arithmetic operations, with n being in the range 103 − 105 for many practical applications. In this paper we investigate the use of graphics processors (GPUs) to accelerate model reduction of large-scale linear systems by off-loading the computationally intensive tasks to this device. Experiments on a hybrid platform consisting of state-of-the-art general-purpose multi-core processors and a GPU illustrate the potential of this approach.
