Develop and evaluate a GPU-parallel implementation of the Fluidity-Atmosphere dynamical framework to address memory bandwidth and computational bottlenecks inherent to 3D unstructured finite-element models.
Engineered GPU-specific data structures and parallelized computing kernels to optimize element integration and fixed-size matrix solves.
Implemented an optimized parallel assembly strategy on NVIDIA A100 GPUs to enhance memory throughput during global sparse matrix construction across four Message Passing Interface (MPI) processes.
Optimized GPU kernels achieved greater than 100× speedup for element-wise computations and up to 389.02× speedup for global matrix assembly.
The full dynamical framework achieved an overall end-to-end acceleration of 8.57× using four MPI processes compared to conventional CPU execution.
