GPU并行计算驱动的大规模无人机集群仿真研究
Research on Large-Scale Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Swarms Simulation Driven by GPU Parallel Computing
摘要
Abstract
With the continuous expansion of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)swarm simulation scales,traditional CPU-based serial computing methods have become increasingly inadequate in meeting the high-efficiency,real-time,and low-cost requirements of large-scale simulations.To address this challenge,this paper proposes a GPU-parallel-computing-driven method for large-scale UAV swarm simulation.From a methodological perspective,a parallel simulation frame-work compatible with GPU execution characteristics is systematically developed.Leveraging CUDA as the foundation for parallel computation,the method exploits the inherent independence of simulation objects by adopting a fine-grained data-parallel strategy.Simulation tasks are evenly distributed across parallel threads based on a static load-balancing principle and thread mapping model,thereby maximizing computational resource utilization.To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method,a parallel simulation system for large-scale UAV swarms is constructed,and performance benchmarking against conventional CPU-based simulation approaches is conducted.The evaluation is systematically performed from two critical dimensions:simulation real-time performance and system scalability.Experimental results demonstrate that while ensuring simulation accuracy and system stability,this method can achieve real-time simulation of up to 2 322 drone mod-els on an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card.This work provides a practical solution for efficient UAV swarm simulation and offers valuable technical insights for addressing large-scale parallel computing challenges in other domains.关键词
