CEED Second Annual Meeting
August 8-10, 2018
University of Colorado Boulder
Overview
CEED will hold its second annual meeting August 8-10, 2018 in Koelbel S127 (adjacent to the Engineering Center) at the University of Colorado Boulder. The goal of the meeting is to report on the progress in the center, deepen existing and establish new connections with ECP hardware vendors, ECP software technologies projects and other collaborators, plan project activities and brainstorm/work as a group to make technical progress. In addition to gathering together many of the CEED researchers, the meeting will include representatives of the ECP management, hardware vendors, software technology and other interested projects.
Registration
If you plan to attend, please register no later than June 30.

| 8:30-8:50 | Performance of the E3SM spectral element atmosphere dynamical core Mark Taylor, SNL The E3SM atmosphere component model's dynamical core is based on the spectral element method. I'll present performance results from our Fortran and C++/kokkos implementations of this dynamical core on a range of processors (Ivy Bridge, Haswell, KNL, and P100 and V100 GPUs). With a careful implementation, the C++ code is competitive with the Fortran code on all processors and also supports GPUs. With sufficient work per node, the KNL and V100 processors can obtain significant speedups over conventional Xeons. But in the strong scaling limit, we see little or no improvement over the circa-2012 Ivy Bridge processor. |
