abstract = {The one-dimensional heat transfer algorithm of the Fire
Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is currently implemented to run on
a CPU (Central Processing Unit). This study explores the
potential advantages of adapting the algorithm for Graphics
Processing Units (GPUs), which could o!er significant
computational benefits. The motivation behind this work
stems from the intention to speed up numerical fire
simulations. Up to now, simplifications with regard to grid
resolution and level of detail have been made, compromising
accuracy for quicker results. Simulations, especially for
heat transfer in solid objects such as walls, require
computationally intensive resources. By leveraging the
GPUs’ superior parallel processing capabilities, it is
possible to conduct faster and more accurate simulations,
avoiding these compromises. Both a CPU and a GPU algorithm
for computing the 1D heat transfer are developed, and the
computation time is compared against each other. Both
implementations are validated against a simple FDS
simulation with identical boundary conditions. The
investigations show that the GPU algorithm is promising
above a certain number of wall elements, depending on the
employed hardware. The results show that this is generally
the case from 2048 elements.},
