Description

This software pakage contains an efficient implementation of the simulation of ultrasound waves moving though soft tissues. This package is intended for Graphics Processing Units produced by NVIDIA. ersion 1.2 introduces a few visual style, support for CUDA 8.0 and 9.0, and physical model updates. More information can be found at  http://www.k-wave.org.
