Abstract
Realistic modeling and deformation of soft tissue is one of the key technologies of virtual surgery simulation which is a challenging research field that stimulates the development of new clinical applications such as the virtual surgery simulator. In this paper we adopt the linear FEM (Finite Element Method) and sparse matrix compression stored in CSR (Compressed Sparse Row) format that enables fast modeling and deformation of soft tissue on GPU hardware with NVIDIA’s CUSPARSE (Compute Unified Device Architecture Sparse Matrix) and CUBLAS (Compute Unified Device Architecture Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines) library. We focus on the CGS (Conjugate Gradient Solver) which is the mainly time-consuming part of FEM, and transplant it onto GPU with the two libraries mentioned above. The experimental results show that the accelerating method in this paper can achieve realistic and fast modeling and deformation simulation of soft tissue.
