Many problems in geophysical and atmospheric modelling require the fast solution of elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) in “flat” three dimensional geometries. In particular, an anisotropic elliptic PDE for the pressure correction has to be solved at every time step in the dynamical core of many numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, and equations of a very similar structure arise in global ocean models, subsurface flow simulations and gas and oil reservoir modelling. The elliptic solve is often the bottleneck of the forecast, and to meet operational requirements an algorithmically optimal method has to be used and implemented efficiently. Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have been shown to be highly efficient (both in terms of absolute performance and power consumption) for a wide range of applications in scientific computing, and recently iterative solvers have been parallelised on these architectures. In this article we describe the GPU implementation and optimisation of a Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (PCG) algorithm for the solution of a three dimensional anisotropic elliptic PDE for the pressure correction in NWP. Our implementation exploits the strong vertical anisotropy of the elliptic operator in the construction of a suitable preconditioner. As the algorithm is memory bound, performance can be improved significantly by reducing the amount of global memory access. We achieve this by using a matrix-free implementation which does not require explicit storage of the matrix and instead recalculates the local stencil. Global memory access can also be reduced by rewriting the PCG algorithm using loop fusion and we show that this further reduces the runtime on the GPU. We demonstrate the performance of our matrix-free GPU code by comparing it both to a sequential CPU implementation and to a matrix-explicit GPU code which uses existing CUDA libraries. The absolute performance of the algorithm for different problem sizes is quantified in terms of floating point throughput and global memory bandwidth. 相似文献

An economic iterative method is proposed for simulating stationary conditions in complex gas transport systems of any topology. The method exploits a fast algebraic pipe model with periodic identification, which is used to adjust the model to the stationary conditions under consideration and to provide the required accuracy of calculation. The identification procedure is based on the solution of stationary hydrodynamic equations. The gas transport system is represented as a list of pipes and a list of nodes. As an initial approximation, we define gas pressures and temperatures in the nodes and thus setting boundary conditions for the stationary flow. In the global iterations of the method, the pressures and temperatures are updated to make the flow disbalance tend to zero. The method allows parallel computing on multiprocessor computers. It is implemented as a separate module in the VOLNA software. Its efficiency is demonstrated through a sample calculation for the gas transport system. A number of related issues are considered, including simulation accuracy, peculiarities in the solution of stationary equations, and the correctness of the calculation setup. The method can be used in combination with any other model of piped compressible gas. 相似文献

The real ghost fluid method (RGFM) [Wang CW, Liu TG, Khoo BC. A real-ghost fluid method for the simulation of multi-medium compressible flow. SIAM J Sci Comput 2006;28:278–302] has been shown to be more robust than previous versions of GFM for simulating multi-medium flow problems with large density and pressure jumps. In this paper, a finite difference RGFM is combined with adaptive moving meshes for one- and two-dimensional problems. A high resolution corner-transport upwind (CTU) method is used to interpolate approximate solutions from old quadrilateral meshes to new ones. Unlike the dimensional splitting interpolation, the CTU method takes into account the transport across corner points, which is physically more sensible. Several one- and two-dimensional examples with large density and pressure jumps are computed. The results show the present moving mesh method can effectively reduce the conservative errors produced by GFM and can increase the computational efficiency. 相似文献

In this paper, a hybrid algorithm for accelerating the double series of Floquet vector modes arising in the analysis of frequency selective surfaces (FSS) is presented. The asymptotic terms with slow convergence in the double series are first accelerated by Poisson transformation and Ewald method, and then the remained series is accelerated by Shank transformation. It results in significant savings in memory and computing time. Numerical examples verify the validity of the hybrid acceleration algorithm. 相似文献

The high advanced techniques in parallel computing can be employed for a better understanding of groundwater flow fluids. Generally, the geological media are very heterogeneous and contain complex structures. Decomposing these structures into, approximately, equivalent sub-structures for a load-balancing is a major challenge. This paper proposes and analyses a new algorithm to simulate parallel flow fluid in such complex media. Fully parallel software is developed, and two well-known sparse linear solvers, based respectively on a multifrontal Cholesky factorization and an iterative structured multigrid method, are compared. The mixed finite element (MFE) method is used to discretize Darcy’s equation. Numerical examples are presented to show the efficiency and robustness of the algorithm proposed. 相似文献

In this paper, an enhanced hybrid method (EHM) is presented for the simulation of homogeneous non-Gaussian stochastic fields with prescribed target marginal distribution and spectral density function. The presented methodology constitutes an efficient blending of the Deodatis–Micaletti method with a neural network based function approximation. Precisely, the function fitting ability of neural networks based on the resilient back-propagation (Rprop) learning algorithm is employed to approximate the unknown underlying Gaussian spectrum. The resulting algorithm can be successfully applied for simulating narrow-banded fields with very large skewness at a fraction of the computing time required by the existing methods. Its computational efficiency is demonstrated in three numerical examples involving fields that follow the beta and lognormal distributions. 相似文献

We build upon a recently proposed multi-objective view onto performance measurement of single-objective stochastic solvers. The trade-off between the fraction of failed runs and the mean runtime of successful runs – both to be minimized – is directly analyzed based on a study on algorithm selection of inexact state-of-the-art solvers for the famous Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP). Moreover, we adopt the hypervolume indicator (HV) commonly used in multi-objective optimization for simultaneously assessing both conflicting objectives and investigate relations to commonly used performance indicators, both theoretically and empirically. Next to Penalized Average Runtime (PAR) and Penalized Quantile Runtime (PQR), the HV measure is used as a core concept within the construction of per-instance algorithm selection models offering interesting insights into complementary behavior of inexact TSP solvers. 相似文献

A finite-difference algorithm for computing the secondary flow field in a gas centrifuge is described. The linearized axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations in primitive variable form are solved by a time-marching technique. Most previous finite-difference solution algorithms for gas centrifuge flows have involved numerically resolving the thin Ekman layers at the ends using an extremely fine mesh. Here instead we apply an analytical matching condition at the ends which has the same effect on the flow outside the Ekman layers as would the direct application of the hydrodynamic and thermal boundary conditions on a highly refined mesh. With this matching at the ends and judicious finite-differencing in the interior, the computational efficiency approaches that of algorithms based on eigenfunction solution of the steady-state problem while retaining the convenience of time-marching finite-difference methods. While non-linear terms, sources and sinks, and curvature are not included at present, the algorithm does lend itself to their later inclusion. 相似文献

The Boltzmann simplified velocity distribution function equation, as adapted to various flow regimes, is described on the basis of the Boltzmann–Shakhov model from the kinetic theory of gases in this study. The discrete velocity ordinate method of gas-kinetic theory is studied and applied to simulate complex multi-scale flows. On the basis of using the uncoupling technique on molecular movements and collisions in the DSMC method, the gas-kinetic finite difference scheme is constructed by extending and applying the unsteady time-splitting method from computational fluid dynamics, which directly solves the discrete velocity distribution functions. The Gauss-type discrete velocity numerical quadrature technique for flows with different Mach numbers is developed to evaluate the macroscopic flow parameters in the physical space. As a result, the gas-kinetic numerical algorithm is established for studying the three-dimensional complex flows with high Mach numbers from rarefied transition to continuum regimes. On the basis of the parallel characteristics of the respective independent discrete velocity points in the discretized velocity space, a parallel strategy suitable for the gas-kinetic numerical method is investigated and, then, the HPF (High Performance Fortran) parallel programming software is developed for simulating gas dynamical problems covering the full spectrum of flow regimes. To illustrate the feasibility of the present gas-kinetic numerical method and simulate gas transport phenomena covering various flow regimes, the gas flows around three-dimensional spheres and spacecraft-like shapes with different Knudsen numbers and Mach numbers are investigated to validate the accuracy of the numerical methods through HPF parallel computing. The computational results determine the flow fields in high resolution and agree well with the theoretical and experimental data. This computing, in practice, has confirmed that the present gas-kinetic algorithm probably provides a promising approach for resolving hypersonic aerothermodynamic problems with the complete spectrum of flow regimes from the gas-kinetic point of view for solving the mesoscopic Boltzmann model equation. 相似文献

Scheduling means devoting tasks among computational resources, considering specific goals. Cloud computing is facing a dynamic and rapidly evolving situation. Devoting tasks to the computational resources could be done in numerous different ways. As a consequence, scheduling of tasks in cloud computing is considered as a NP-hard problem. Meta-heuristic algorithms are a proper choice for improving scheduling in cloud computing, but they should, of course, be consistent with the dynamic situation in the field of cloud computing. One of the newest bio-inspired meta-heuristic algorithms is the chicken swarm optimization (CSO) algorithm. This algorithm is inspired by the hierarchical behavior of chickens in a swarm for finding food. The diverse movements of the chickens create a balance between the local and the global search for finding the optimal solution. Raven roosting optimization (RRO) algorithm is inspired by the social behavior of raven and the information flow between the members of the population with the goal of finding food. The advantage of this algorithm lies in using the individual perception mechanism in the process of searching the problem space. In the current work, an ICDSF scheduling framework is proposed. It is a hybrid (IRRO-CSO) meta-heuristic approach based on the improved raven roosting optimization algorithm (IRRO) and the CSO algorithm. The CSO algorithm is used for its efficiency in satisfying the balance between the local and the global search, and IRRO algorithm is chosen for solving the problem of premature convergence and its better performance in bigger search spaces. First, the performance of the proposed hybrid IRRO-CSO algorithm is compared with other imitation-based swarm intelligence methods using benchmark functions (CEC 2017). Then, the capabilities of the proposed scheduling hybrid algorithm (IRRO-CSO) are tested using the NASA-iPSC parallel workload and are compared with the other available algorithms. The obtained results from the implementation of the hybrid IRRO-CSO algorithm in MATLAB show an improvement in the average best fitness compared with the following algorithms: IRRO, RRO, CSO, BAT and PSO. Finally, simulation tests performed in cloud computing environment show improvements in terms of reduction of execution time, reduction of response time and the increase in throughput by using the proposed hybrid IRRO-CSO approach for dynamic scheduling. 相似文献

Investigation on runtime partitioning of elastic mobile applications for mobile cloud computing 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The latest developments in mobile computing technology have increased the computing capabilities of smartphones in terms of storage capacity, features support such as multimodal connectivity, and support for customized user applications. Mobile devices are, however, still intrinsically limited by low bandwidth, computing power, and battery lifetime. Therefore, the computing power of computational clouds is tapped on demand basis for mitigating resources limitations in mobile devices. Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is believed to be able to leverage cloud application processing services for alleviating the computing limitations of smartphones. In MCC, application offloading is implemented as a significant software level solution for sharing the application processing load of smartphones. The challenging aspect of application offloading frameworks is the resources intensive mechanism of runtime profiling and partitioning of elastic mobile applications, which involves additional computing resources utilization on Smart Mobile Devices (SMDs). This paper investigates the overhead of runtime application partitioning on SMD by analyzing additional resources utilization on SMD in the mechanism of runtime application profiling and partitioning. We evaluate the mechanism of runtime application partitioning on SMDs in the SmartSim simulation environment and validate the overhead of runtime application profiling by running prototype application in the real mobile computing environment. Empirical results indicate that additional computing resources are utilized in runtime application profiling and partitioning. Hence, lightweight alternatives with optimal distributed deployment and management mechanism are mandatory for accessing application processing services of computational clouds. 相似文献

The runtime of an evolutionary algorithm can be reduced by increasing the number of parallel evaluations. However, increasing the number of parallel evaluations can also result in wasted computational effort since there is a greater probability of creating solutions that do not contribute to convergence towards the global optimum. A trade-off, therefore, arises between the runtime and computational effort for different levels of parallelization of an evolutionary algorithm. When the computational effort is translated into cost, the trade-off can be restated as runtime versus cost. This trade-off is particularly relevant for cloud computing environments where the computing resources can be exactly matched to the level of parallelization of the algorithm, and the cost is proportional to the runtime and how many instances that are used. This paper empirically investigates this trade-off for two different evolutionary algorithms, NSGA-II and differential evolution (DE) when applied to a multi-objective discrete-event simulation (DES) problem. Both generational and steady-state asynchronous versions of both algorithms are included. The approach is to perform parameter tuning on a simplified version of the DES model. A subset of the best configurations from each tuning experiment is then evaluated on a cloud computing platform. The results indicate that, for the included DES problem, the steady-state asynchronous version of each algorithm provides a better runtime versus cost trade-off than the generational versions and that DE outperforms NSGA-II. 相似文献

Algorithm selection can be performed using a model of runtime distribution, learned during a preliminary training phase. There
is a trade-off between the performance of model-based algorithm selection, and the cost of learning the model. In this paper,
we treat this trade-off in the context of bandit problems. We propose a fully dynamic and online algorithm selection technique,
with no separate training phase: all candidate algorithms are run in parallel, while a model incrementally learns their runtime
distributions. A redundant set of time allocators uses the partially trained model to propose machine time shares for the algorithms. A bandit problem solver mixes the model-based
shares with a uniform share, gradually increasing the impact of the best time allocators as the model improves. We present
experiments with a set of SAT solvers on a mixed SAT-UNSAT benchmark; and with a set of solvers for the Auction Winner Determination
problem.

The porous gas diffusion layers (GDLs) are key components in hydrogen fuel cells. During their operation the cells produce water at the cathode, and to avoid flooding, the water has to be removed out of the cells. How to manage the water is therefore an important issue in fuel cell design. In this paper we investigated water flow in the GDLs using a combination of the lattice Boltzmann method and X-ray computed tomography at the micron scale. Water flow in the GDL depends on water–air surface tension and hydrophobicity. To correctly represent the water–gas surface tension, the formations of water droplets in air were simulated, and the water–gas surface tension was obtained by fitting the simulated results to the Young–Laplace formula. The hydrophobicity is represented by the water–gas-fabric contact angle. For a given water–gas surface tension the value of the contact angle was determined by simulating the formations of water droplets on a solid surface with different hydrophobicity. We then applied the model to simulate water intrusion into initially dry GDLs driven by a pressure gradient in attempts to understand the impact of hydrophobicity on water distribution in the GDLs. The structures of the GDL were acquired by X-ray micro-tomography at a resolution of 1.7 microns. The simulated results revealed that with an increase in hydrophobicity, water transport in GDLs changes from piston-flow to channelled flow. 相似文献

In this paper, we present extensions, extensive validations and applications of our previously published hybrid volume-of-fluid-based (VOF) model for the simulation of free-surface flow problems. For the solution of the flow field, the lattice Boltzmann method is used, where the free surface is represented by a VOF approach. The advection equation for the VOF fill level is discretized with a finite volume method, on the basis of a 3D Piecewise Linear Interface Reconstruction (PLIC) algorithm. The model is validated for several standard free surface benchmarks, such as breaking dam scenarios and a free falling jet. Finally, the hybrid algorithm is applied to the simulation of a wave breaking by overturning during shoaling, which is considered to be a demanding test case, especially for VOF solvers. In this case, the flow field is initialized early in the shoaling process with a solitary wave solution from inviscid, irrotational potential flow. The wave breaking process is then simulated with the 3D transient and turbulent LBM–VOF solver. All validation and benchmark tests confirm the accuracy of the proposed hybrid model. 相似文献
