We present an efficient algorithm for numerical simulations of charge transportthrough semiconductor nanostructures performed withinthe Green’s function formalism. The commonly used algorithmto compute the conductance of nanostructures in this formalismhas been adapted for parallel execution on both multicore computersand general-purpose graphics processing units (GPU) in a memory-efficient way to allow simulations of devices with realistic dimensions.
