The new iterative algorithm has a simple structure and abundant parallelism, and is easily adapted to multithreaded architectures using OpenMP. Moreover, we have used the automated C-to-CUDA source code translator, Mint, to achieve greatly enhanced computing speed on GPUs. Both OpenMP and CUDA implementations have been tested and benchmarked on several examples of 3D geological folding.}, year = {2012}, journal = {The International Conference on Computational Science, ICCS 2012}, volume = {9}, pages = {947-955}, publisher = {ICCS}, address = {Amsterdam}, doi = {10.1016/j.procs.2012.04.101}, editor = {Hesham Ali and Yong Shi and Deepak Khazanchi and Michael Lees and Dick van Albada and Jack Dongarra and Peter Sloot and Jack Dongarra}, }
