Abstract
The discrete element method (DEM) is widely used to predict the motion over time of many particles, such as molecules or soil particles. The computational demands for DEM simulations are significant. Therefore, improved performance could address a spectrum of scientific and engineering applications. This paper proposes an accelerated implementation for the DEM using Advanced of Reduced Instruction Set Computing Machine. The method used in this research is to compare the results of the ARM versus x86 analysis. The case study refers to the investigation conducted by V. Ćmilauer using YADE programming. The results showed that the performance of ARM as a microprocessor was capable of DEM analysis. Furthermore, because the arm stands alone as a system, it runs both Ubuntu and Windows operating systems without affecting each other's performance and capabilities. Finally, the study will focus on ARM processing as future works.
