Acceleration of fusion plasma turbulence simulations on many core platforms

Idomura, Yasuhiro   

We discuss Exa-scale computing techniques, which are developed under the Post-K project. Since fusion plasma simulations require first principles based computation of a convection-diffusion simulation in five dimensional phase space, Exa-scale computation is needed for analyzing the next generation experimental reactor ITER. To this end, techniques for utilizing many core processors with low power consumption and avoiding communication bottlenecks, which are revealed by accelerated computation. In this talk, we explain many core optimization techniques, communication-computation overlap techniques, and communication-avoiding algorithms, which have been developed to resolve the above issues, and show their performance evaluations on the latest many core platforms.
