In this work we develop a methodology to approximate the covariance matrix associated to the simulation of water diffusion inside the brain tissue. The computation is based on an implementation of the Discontinuous Galerkin method of the diffusion equation, in accord with the physical phenomenon. The implementation in in parallel using GPUs in the CUDA language. Numerical results are presented in 2D problems.
