	%X A highly optimized implementation of binary mixture
diffusion with no initial bulk velocity on graphics processors is
presented. The lattice Boltzmann model is employed for simulating
the binary diffusion of oxygen and nitrogen into each other with
different initial concentration distributions. Simulations have been
performed using the latest proposed lattice Boltzmann model that
satisfies both the indifferentiability principle and the H-theorem for
multi-component gas mixtures. Contemporary numerical
optimization techniques such as memory alignment and increasing
the multiprocessor occupancy are exploited along with some novel
optimization strategies to enhance the computational performance on
graphics processors using the C for CUDA programming language.
Speedup of more than two orders of magnitude over single-core
processors is achieved on a variety of Graphical Processing Unit
(GPU) devices ranging from conventional graphics cards to
advanced, high-end GPUs, while the numerical results are in
excellent agreement with the available analytical and numerical data
in the literature.
