Abstract
The phase field simulation has been actively studied as a powerful method to investigate the microstructural evolution during the solidification However it is a great challenge to perform the phase field simulation in large length and time scale The developed graphics processing unit GPU calculation is used in the phase filed simulation greatly accelerating the calculation efficiency The results show that the computation with GPU is about 36 times faster than that with a single Central Processing Unit CPU core It provides the feasibility of the GPUaccelerated phase field simulation on a desktop computer The GPUaccelerated strategy will bring a new opportunity to the application of phase field simulation
