This page aims to compile a list of solutions on using General Purpose Graphical Processing Units for OpenFOAM (GPGPU at Wikipedia).

1 Open Source

This list includes those that have commercial support, but all have the source code licensed under an OSI approved license.

Symscape's GPU Linear Solver Library for OpenFOAM
- Valid versions:
- Precision: Single-Precision only
- Performance reports: CFD Performance Comparison Between GPU and CPU
- Versions:

PARALUTION
- Valid versions: unknown
- Precision: unknown
- Features: Documentation
- Forum: Public Forums at Paralution

cufflink-library
- Valid versions:
- Was fully integrated into and is supported since then.

SpeedIT by Vratis - Note: Only the Classic version is open source.
- Valid versions:
- Precision: Single-Precision only
- Requires registration on their website to get the latest version.

RapidCFD
- Valid versions:
- Precision: Double-precision

2 Closed Source

The ones on this list are mostly composed of source code that is not available to their client. Usually this means that the binaries that work with the GPU act as a server (data transacted over files or similar) and are therefore not directly linked to OpenFOAM.

SpeedIT Extreme by Vratis
- Valid versions:
- Precision: Single-Precision and Double-Precision

Culises by FluiDyna
- Valid versions:
- Precision: Single-Precision and Double-Precision
- Announcements: FluiDyna releases Culises 1.1 for GPU-based acceleration of OpenFOAM
