GPGPU room climate assessment (simulation of room temperature feeling on a graphics card)

This project investigates the extent to which modern programmable graphics cards can be used for simulations. The local radiation temperature according to DIN 1946 part 2 and the mean vote (PMV) for the indoor climate assessment by a large group of persons according to DIN EN ISO 7730:1995 are simulated or predicted.

The algorithm used was originally developed in the engineering office Hauser by Mr. Christoph Kempkes and implemented in Fortran.

The existing algorithm and the used data structures have to be analyzed and extracted.

A suitable high-level language for programming graphics cards has to be selected.

Project goal is the simulation of a simple room (cubic). At least parts of the solution should run on a graphics processing unit (GPU).
