CUDA HeatTransfer1D program on Mac OS X

I recently ported the CUDA program for 1D heat transfer onto Mac OS X 10.6.8 and CUDA 4.0.31. I only modified the parts related to timing and the program could work perfectly.

The hardware platform comprises GeForce 320M, 950 MHz, and Intel Core 2 Duo P8600, 2.40 GHz. The computation times for GPU and CPU are 1.86 s and 2.15 s respectively; speedup of 1.16. Previously on Windows 7 and CUDA 3.1, GeForce 9800 GTX+ and Q6600 used calculation times 1.43 s and 5.04 s respectively.

The source code is attached for comments.

  1. This post explains CUDA heat transfer 1D program on Mac OS X. This is very simple concept to understand. It also describe configuration of the system. I don't think find it difficult to understand. Thanks for the post.
