Enabling High Performance Computational Dynamics in a Heterogenous Hardware Excosystem 

Abstract: This presentation outlines a software infrastructure (tools and libraries) that supports physics-based simulation on
heterogeneous and distributed computing environments. The heterogeneous hardware infrastructure is assumed to be a
combination of Central Processing Units (CPUs) and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The computational dynamics applications
targeted include large rigid/flexible body dynamics and fluid-solid interaction problems. The underlying theme of the software
solution is that of partitioning the problem of interest into a number of sub-problems, each managed by a separate core/accelerator
(CPU/GPU) pair. The five components at the core of this Heterogeneous Computing Template (HCT) are: (a) a method for geometric
domain decomposition; (b) methods for proximity computation; (c) support for moving data within the heterogeneous hardware
ecosystem to mirror the migration of simulation elements from sub-problem to sub-problem; (d) parallel numerical methods; and
(e) tools for carrying out visualization and post-processing in a distributed manner. The talk will briefly discuss how these five
components have been implemented to leverage a 32-GPU (Fermi) and 64-CPU core cluster running CUDA and MPI.
The selection is done based on submitted CVs & letter of intent.
