Graphics processing units (GPU) are well suited to decrease the
computational in-
tensity of stochastic simulation of chemical reaction systems. We
compare Gillespie’s
Direct Method and Gibson-Bruck’s Next Reaction Method on GPUs. The gain
of the
GPU implementation of these algorithms is approximately 120 times faster
than on a
CPU. Furthermore our implementation is integrated into the Systems
Biology Toolbox
for Matlab and acts as a direct replacement of its Matlab based
implementation.
