Abstract: In this paper, we develop and propose novel solutions for implementing the N-body simulation on the latest Pascal parallel processing Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) as to attain a high level of performance and efficiency. The innovative aspect of our research emerges from the development and implementation of the N-body simulation on the latest Pascal Compute Unified Device Architecture, making use of the latest features of the CUDA Toolkit 8.0, employing the architecture's dynamic parallelism feature in order to effectively manage the unbalancing of the processing tasks that appears once the number of corresponding bodies differs throughout the processing threads.
