Open Source Software for Stream Computing
libstdcl. The standard compute layer library provides a simple interface
to OpenCL™ and includes tools for linking, tracing and timing OpenCL™ code.
The libstdcl library implemented by Brown Deer Technology is freely available
open-source software. (learn more)

N-Body Simulation.
An N-Body simulation models the motion of particles
subject to a force due to the particle-particle interactions between all particles in the system.
A typical example is the simulation of stars in a galaxy subject to the gravitational force. Brown Deer has
developed an N-Body simulation code accelerated with GPUs using OpenCL.

Seismic3D.
Three-dimensional VS-FDTD (Velocity-Stress Finite-Difference Time-Domain) solver for seismic
applications accelerated with GPUs using OpenCL.
The solver performs an exact iterative solution of the elastic wave equation modeling the
propagation of seismic pressure waves.

Electromagnetics.
GPU implementation of a 3D FDTD (Finite-Difference Time-Domain) solver.
The solver performs an exact iterative solution of Maxwell's equations modeling the time
evolution of the electromagnetic field within a simple waveguide.
The sample code uses perfectly conducting boundary conditions.

Open Source Software for Modeling and Simulation
NEW - LAMMPS MCF Output Engine
An MCF output engine using StormRT is now available for the
LAMMPS molecular dynamics code.
The MCF format enables reduced storage of particle trajectories using
real-time data compression.
The MCF files can be used to detect temporal features such as
stable structures and transition events. (See
http://stormrt.sourceforge.net)
StormRT is a real-time multi-resolution analysis and compression package
for data compression and temporal feature detection over multiple
timescales.
StormRT has been integrated into large-scale molecular dynamics simulations to provide
for the efficient storage of particle trajectories and the automatic detection of
stable structures and transition events.
StormRT has been used as the core technology in multi-scale client-server data communication
supporting remote visualization of scientific data sets.
StormRT provides a C++ class library API allowing for seamless integration into existing
modeling and simulation software.
StormRT is open source and available under the GNU Library General
Public License version 3.
