摘要
在本文中,PyFR for CPU 实现了在混合网格上支持抗锯齿的纳维-斯托克斯方程缓存阻塞。尤其是,缓存阻塞被用作内核融合的替代方法,以消除主内存级内核间不必要的数据移动。具体来说,将交换数据的内核分组,然后在适合每个内核专用数据缓存的小域子区域上执行这些分组。此外,缓存阻塞还用于高效地实现与抗锯齿相关的插值运算符的张量乘积因式分解。通过使用缓存阻塞,稀疏因子应用之间的中间结果被存储在每核专用数据缓存中,从而避免了从主存储器移动大量数据。为了评估性能增益,我们开发了一个理论模型,并使用六面体和棱柱网格上的可压缩三维泰勒-格林涡旋测试案例,以及三阶、四阶和五阶求解多项式,对实施情况进行了基准测试。与 PyFR v1.11.0 相比,基于理论模型的预期性能增益从 1.99 到 2.83 不等,而实际获得的速度提升从 1.51 到 3.91 不等。
Cache blocking for flux reconstruction: Extension to Navier-Stokes equations and anti-aliasing
In this article, cache blocking is implemented for the Navier Stokes equations with anti-aliasing support on mixed grids in PyFR for CPUs. In particular, cache blocking is used as an alternative to kernel fusion to eliminate unnecessary data movements between kernels at the main memory level. Specifically, kernels that exchange data are grouped together, and these groups are then executed on small sub-regions of the domain that fit in per-core private data cache. Additionally, cache blocking is also used to efficiently implement a tensor product factorisation of the interpolation operators associated with anti-aliasing. By using cache blocking, the intermediate results between application of the sparse factors are stored in per-core private data cache, and a significant amount of data movement from main memory is avoided. In order to assess the performance gains a theoretical model is developed, and the implementation is benchmarked using a compressible 3D Taylor-Green vortex test case on both hexahedral and prismatic grids, with third-, fourth-, and fifth-order solution polynomials. The expected performance gains based on the theoretical model range from 1.99 to 2.83, and the speedups obtained in practice range from 1.51 to 3.91 compared to PyFR v1.11.0.
期刊介绍:
The focus of CPC is on contemporary computational methods and techniques and their implementation, the effectiveness of which will normally be evidenced by the author(s) within the context of a substantive problem in physics. Within this setting CPC publishes two types of paper.
Computer Programs in Physics (CPiP)
These papers describe significant computer programs to be archived in the CPC Program Library which is held in the Mendeley Data repository. The submitted software must be covered by an approved open source licence. Papers and associated computer programs that address a problem of contemporary interest in physics that cannot be solved by current software are particularly encouraged.
Computational Physics Papers (CP)
These are research papers in, but are not limited to, the following themes across computational physics and related disciplines.
mathematical and numerical methods and algorithms;
computational models including those associated with the design, control and analysis of experiments; and
algebraic computation.
Each will normally include software implementation and performance details. The software implementation should, ideally, be available via GitHub, Zenodo or an institutional repository.In addition, research papers on the impact of advanced computer architecture and special purpose computers on computing in the physical sciences and software topics related to, and of importance in, the physical sciences may be considered.
