Abstract :
Here we consider a multi-threaded parallel numerical solution for a specific model which describes femtosecond laser pulse propagation in transparent media. However our approach can be extended to similar models. The numerical code is implemented in NVIDIA Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) which provides an efficient hardware platform for multi-threaded computing.
