GERLUMPH (for GPU-Enabled, High-Resolution, cosmological Microlensing parameter survey) is a catalog of simulated gravitational microlensing light curves and characteristics, created to assist in identifying and interpreting observed microlensing events. The catalog was generated using the code, GPU-D, that utilizes GPUs (specialized CPUs oriented toward the computation necessary for graphics-rendering, also useful for other types of computation) to carry out the simulations.
