Running Particle Swarm Optimization on Graphic Processing Units

This is an implementation of a version of the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm in Graphic Processing Units (GPU) using CUDA. You can read about this implementation in details here and here.

The code was developed in 2010 using CUDA API 3.1. Given that a lot of things have changed since then, you might need to modify the code in order to run in newer versions of the API.
