Introducing GPUmonty: Simulating Black Hole Light with GPUs

This has been a long time coming, and I am thrilled that we are finally making this codebase public! Our group is releasing GPUmonty: a GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo radiative transfer code that simulates the appearance of hot gas falling onto a black hole. The big news is that our code is the first to solve this problem using GPUs, and it is over ten times faster than previous solutions. The entire…
