From the computational point of view, theextraction of LCS consists of two main steps: The flowmap computation and theresolution of Finite Time Lyapunov Exponents (FTLE). In this work, we focus onthe design, implementation, and parallelization of the FTLE resolution. We offeran in-depth analysis of this procedure, as well as an open source C implementation(UVaFTLE) parallelized using OpenMP directives to attain a fair parallel efficiencyin shared-memory environments. We have also implemented CUDA kernels thatallow UVaFTLE to leverage as many NVIDIA GPU devices as desired in order toreach the best parallel efficiency. For the sake of reproducibility and in order to con-tribute to open science, our code is publicly available through GitHub. Moreover, wealso provide Docker containers to ease its usage.
