Benchmark Description

High Performance Geometric Multigrid (HPGMG-FV) is a benchmark designed to proxy the finite-volume based geometric multigrid linear solvers found in adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) based applications like Nyx, Castro, Maestro, IAMR and PeleLM. HPGMG-FV solves variable-coefficient elliptic problems on Cartesian grids using the finite volume method (FV). The method is fourth-order accurate. More information about the benchmark is at https://crd.lbl.gov/departments/computer-science/PAR/research/hpgmg. The benchmark complements the HPL and HPCG benchmarks as a way to rank the TOP-500 computing systems. The most recent HPGMG list as of Nov 2018 is at https://crd.lbl.gov/departments/computer-science/PAR/research/hpgmg/results/results-201811/. The list shows results obtained on many leading HPC platforms: K computer (Fujitsu SPARC64 VIIIfx), Sunway TahihuLight, Cori (Cray X40), Mira (BG/Q), Titan (Cray XK7), etc.. It also shows that the benchmark has been run with up to 131K MPI ranks. The version of HPGMG submitted to SPEC is based on the CUDA-port at https://bitbucket.org/nsakharnykh/hpgmg-cuda. The submitted version provides MPI and optional OpenMP, OpenMP target offload, OpenACC and CUDA parallelism.


Input Description

The control file contains two integers:

If the control file contains "6 7" then the finest grid will contain boxes of size 64**3 grid points and will have a total of 128**3 grid points. The boxes are distributed across MPI ranks.


Output Description

The benchmark performs multiple linear solves and performs an error check each time.

Programming Language

C


External Dependencies

The optional CUDA configuration depends on the CUDA CUB library (https://nvlabs.github.io/cub/)

Runtime Limitations (such as number of ranks)

None

Known portability issues

None
