DEM Solutions EDEM® by DEM Solutions®
EDEM® is a particle flow simulation technology from DEM Solutions®. This tool predicts the performance of bulk particle handling and processing equipment, providing engineers with key design and process information. DEM Solutions CEO, Dr. John Favier, says “In recent tests, we saw that the new OpenCL™ implementation of our EDEM simulation engine employing FirePro™ professional graphics runs up to 25 times faster than on a single CPU.” Read more aboutEDEM, or explore other apps using heterogeneous computing technologies.
Update

Documentation Library
 Documentation Library
We’re putting together a library of the best articles and research on topics such as heterogeneous computing, OpenCL™ and performance & optimization. Additional resources will be added to the library throughout the year. Email us with a link to your favorite article on these or other relevant topics. We’ll review your suggestion, and if it’s a good fit, add it to the library.
