ABSTRACT:
A method of performing a Monte Carlo analysis uses a graphical processor unit of a computer system, individual data sets to be analyzed are allocated to respective pixel locations in a graphical processor unit memory for Monte Carlo simulation and the outcome of the Monte Carlo simulation is calculated for each data set using stream processing in the graphical processor unit.
