  1. Fire Benchmark Parallelisation Programming of Supercomputers WS 11/12 Sam Maurus

  2. What is Fire Benchmark? • CFD solver for arbitrary geometries • This project concerned itself with the gccg solver

  3. How Fast is Fire Benchmark Sequentially?

  4. What effect does the input file-format have?

  5. Data structures in gccg Points Elements

  6. Data structures in gccg z y ( x points array

  7. Data structures in gccg elems array

  8. Data structures in gccg lcc array

  9. Data distribution approach Process 0 (root) Process 1 • Root Process Tasks: • Read input file • Partition elements using chosen approach • Create and send relevant mapping arrays to each processes • Broadcast common data package to each processor Process 2 Process 3 = lcc, ne, epart, countPart, bs_local, be_local…

  10. Communication model

  11. Communication model P3 P3 has_ghost_neighbour = 0 has_ghost_neighbour = 1 P3 P3 P3 P5 P3 P3 has_ghost_neighbour array

  12. … Communication model Process 0 Process 1 Process k (k = count) Process x • Computational loop, phase one: • Start Isend to required processes (where cellCountsToSend[i] > 0) • Start Irecv from required processes (where cellCountsToRecv[i] > 0) • Process local elements that have no ghost neighbours • Wait on all requests • Update remaining local elements

  13. Communication model

  14. Problems overcome MPI_WAIT FUNCTION • Problem:MPI_Wait was being executed both for the send and receive requests for every element processed • Solution:has_ghost_neighbour array introduced, allowing for intermediate computation. MPI_Wait then only called once for each request. BEFORE AFTER

  15. Problems overcome REDUNDANT REPROCESSING OF INPUT FILE • Problem: Input file was being read once at initialisation and again for writing the result (redundant) • Solution: ‘Write solution’ code was refactored to re-use the relevant file information obtained from the first read BEFORE AFTER
