Adaptive Mesh Refinement for Large Scale Parallel Computing with DOLFIN
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The design of a parallel implementation of the finite element software DOLFIN is described. To be able to handle large scale problems a new distributed mesh is developed. New distributed preand post processing routines are implemented in order to efficiently deal with the massive amount of data. New parallel mesh refinement algorithms are described and implemented. In order to obtain maximum parallel efficiency for adaptive computations, a dynamic load balancer is implemented. The entire implementation has been successfully tested on a massively parallel Blue Gene/L and a performance model is given to explain the experimental results.

Toward Parallel, Adaptive Mesh Refinement for Chemically Reacting Flow Simulations1
Adaptive numerical methods offer greater efficiency than traditional numerical methods by concentrating computational effort in regions of the problem domain where the solution is difficult to obtain. In this paper, we describe progress toward adding mesh refinement to MPSalsa, a computer program developed at Sandia National Laboratories to solve coupled three-dimensional fluid flow and detaile...
متن کاملHigh Performance Multigrid on Current Large Scale Parallel Computers
Making multigrid algorithms run efficiently on large parallel computers is a challenge. Without clever data structures the communication overhead will lead to an unacceptable performance drop when using thousands of processors. We show that with a good implementation it is possible to solve a linear system with 10 unknowns in about 1.5 minutes on almost 10,000 processors. The data structures al...
متن کاملParallel Adaptive Blocks on a Sphere
We have developed a flexible tool for efficient parallel adaptive mesh refinement on a sphere. Adaptive mesh refinement allows one to concentrate computational resources on regions of interest, and by extending to spheres we have extended their applicability to climatology and other large scale planetary phenomena. The system is effective for our space weather application and as a general purpo...
متن کاملLoad Balancing Strategies for Parallel SAMR Algorithms
Highly resolved solutions of partial differential equations are important in many areas of science and technology nowadays. Only adaptive mesh refinement methods reduce the necessary work sufficiently allowing the calculation of realistic problems. Blockstructured SAMR methods are well-suited for the time-explicit computation of large-scale dynamical problems, but still require parallelization ...
متن کاملThe hierarchical domain decomposition pre-processing module with the parallel mesh refinement function without communication
This paper describes a parallel fast generation method of large-scale meshes for a hierarchical domain decomposition method implemented in the open source parallel finite element software ADVENTURE. The present authors have newly developed a parallel algorithm such that communication table is updated and inherited in parallel during mesh refinement after the initial communication table is gener...
