kspaceFirstOrder3DG

3D time-domain simulation of wave propagation on a GPU using C++ CUDA code.

Syntax

See kspaceFirstOrder3D and kspaceFirstOrder3DC.

Description

kspaceFirstOrder3DG provides a blind interface to the C++/CUDA version of kspaceFirstOrder3D (called kspaceFirstOrder-CUDA) in the same way as kspaceFirstOrder3DC. Note, the C++ code does not support all input options, and all display options are ignored (only command line outputs are given). See the k-Wave user manual for more information.

The function works by appending the optional input 'SaveToDisk' to the user inputs and then calling kspaceFirstOrder3D to save the input files to disk. The contents of sensor.record (if set) are parsed as input flags, and the C++ code is run using the kspaceFirstOrder3D. The input and output files are saved to the temporary directory native to the operating system, and are deleted after the function runs.

This function requires the C++ binary/executable of kspaceFirstOrder-CUDA to be downloaded from www.k-wave.org/download.php and placed in the "binaries" directory of the k-Wave toolbox. Alternatively, the name and location of the binary can be specified using the optional input parameters 'BinaryName' and 'BinariesPath'.
