Abstract

Due to its high performance and throughput capabilities, GPU-accelerated computing is becoming a popular technology in scientific computing, in particular using programming models such as CUDA and OpenACC. The main advantage with OpenACC is that it enables to simply port codes in their ‘‘original’’ form to GPU systems through compiler directives, thus allowing an incremental approach. An OpenACC implementation is applied to the CFD code Nek5000 for simulation of incompressible flows, based on the spectral-element method. The work follows up previous implementations and focuses now on the P_N- P_N-2 method for the spatial discretization of the Navier–Stokes equations. Performance results of the ported code show a speed-up of up to 3.1 on multi-GPU for a polynomial order N > 11.

Nek5000 with OpenACC

Journal Article

Nek5000 is a computational fluid dynamics code based on the spectral element method used for the simulation of incompressible flows. We follow up on an earlier study which ported the simplified version of Nek5000 to a GPU-accelerated system by presenting the hybrid CPU/GPU implementation of the full Nek5000 code using OpenACC. The matrix-matrix multiplication, the Nek5000 gather-scatter operator and a preconditioned Conjugate Gradient solver have implemented using OpenACC for multi-GPU systems.We report an speed-up of 1.3 on single node of a Cray XK6 when using OpenACC directives in Nek5000. On 512 nodes of the Titan supercomputer, the speed-up can bemore »« less

OpenACC acceleration of the Nek5000 spectral element code

Journal Article Markidis, Stefano ; Gong, Jing ; Schliephake, Michael ; ... - International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications

We present a case study of porting NekBone, a skeleton version of the Nek5000 code, to a parallel GPU-accelerated system. Nek5000 is a computational fluid dynamics code based on the spectral element method used for the simulation of incompressible flow. The original NekBone Fortran source code has been used as the base and enhanced by OpenACC directives. The profiling of NekBone provided an assessment of the suitability of the code for GPU systems, and indicated possible kernel optimizations. To port NekBone to GPU systems required little effort and a small number of additional lines of code (approximately one OpenACC directivemore »« less

Nekbone performance on GPUs with OpenACC and CUDA Fortran implementations

Journal Article Gong, Jing ; Markidis, Stefano ; Laure, Erwin ; ... - Journal of Supercomputing

We present a hybrid GPU implementation and performance analysis of Nekbone, which represents one of the core kernels of the incompressible Navier–Stokes solver Nek5000. The implementation is based on OpenACC and CUDA Fortran for local parallelization of the compute-intensive matrix–matrix multiplication part, which significantly minimizes the modification of the existing CPU code while extending the simulation capability of the code to GPU architectures. Our discussion includes the GPU results of OpenACC interoperating with CUDA Fortran and the gather–scatter operations with GPUDirect communication. We demonstrate performance of up to 552 Tflops on 16, 384 GPUs of the OLCF Cray XK7 Titan.

Cuprates and center vortices: A QCD confinement mechanism in a high-T $_{c}$ context

Journal Article Greensite, Jeff ; Matsuyama, Kazue - Annals of Physics

It is determined that the center vortex confinement mechanism, familiar in hadronic physics, may have some relevance to high-T_c phenomena. We focus specifically on the transition from the superconducting phase to the pseudogap phase. There is evidence of a vortex liquid in the latter phase, in which the pairing responsible for superconductivity still exists, but superconductivity itself does not. An analogy, drawn from particle physics, may be the Higgs to confinement phase transition in an SU(N) gauge theory, where the confined phase is a vortex liquid, and the Higgs phase is a phase of a broken global Z_N symmetry.
