Figure 1. GPU-accelerated computation framework: the mesh data is loaded along with simulation parameters at the host (CPU), and the numerical computation is performed on the designed device (GPU) via a sequential execution of five compute shaders in the GPU rendering pipeline.

Figure 3. Transient thermal damage at the mid-plane (
) at (a) 1 s; (b) 10 s; (c) 20 s; (d) 60 s; (e) 150 s; and (f) 300 s; the tissue at the heat source node necrotizes quickly within 20 s, while directly neighboring tissues have not necrotized completely until 300 s.
