Abstract:	Computing the interactions between the stars within dense stellar clusters is a problem of fundamental importance in theoretical astrophysics. However, simulating realistic sized clusters of about 106 stars is computationally intensive and often takes a long time to complete. This paper presents the acceleration of a Monte Carlo algorithm for simulating stellar cluster evolution using programmable Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). This acceleration allows to explore physical regimes which were out of reach of current simulations.
