The benefit of using the Discrete Element Method (DEM) for simulations of fracture in heterogeneous media has been widely highlighted. However modeling large structure leads to prohibitive computations times. We propose to take advantage of Graphics Processor Units (GPUs) to reduce the computation time, taking advantage of the highly data parallel nature of DEM computations. GPUs are massively parallel coprocessors increasingly popular to accelerate numerical simulations. We detail our algorithm and implementation of the discrete element method (DEM) on GPU and present performance results for simulations of rock impact on a concrete slab, before to discuss the pro and cons of moving such computation to the GPU.
