The small number of some reactant molecules in biological systems formed by living cells can result in dynamical behavior which cannot be captured by traditional deterministic models. In such a problem, a more accurate simulation can be obtained with discrete stochastic simulation (Gillespie’s stochastic simulation algorithm – SSA). Many stochastic realizations are required to capture accurate statistical information of the solution. This carries a very high computational cost. The current generation of graphics processing units (GPU) is well-suited to this task. In this paper we describe our implementation and present some computational experiments illustrating the power of this technology for this important and challenging class of problems.
