High-performance finite elements with MFEM

The MFEM (Modular Finite Element Methods) library is a high-performance C++ library for finite element discretizations. MFEM supports numerous types of finite element methods and is the discretization engine powering many computational physics and engineering applications across a number of domains. Furthermore, this paper describes some of the recent research and development in MFEM, focusing on performance portability across leadership-class supercomputing facilities, including exascale supercomputers, as well as new capabilities and functionality, enabling a wider range of applications. Much of this work was undertaken as part of the Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project (ECP) in collaboration with the Center for Efficient Exascale Discretizations (CEED).

Nyx: A Massively Parallel AMR Code for Computational Cosmology

Nyx is a highly parallel, adaptive mesh, finite-volume N-body compressible hydrodynamics solver for cosmological simulations. It has been used to simulate different cosmological scenarios with a recent focus on the intergalactic medium and Lyman alpha forest. Together, Nyx, the compressible astrophysical simulation code, Castro, and the low Mach number code MAESTROeX, make up the AMReX-Astrophysics Suite of open-source, adaptive mesh, performance-portable astrophysical simulation codes. Other examples of cosmological simulation research codes include Enzo, Enzo-P/Cello, RAMSES, ART, FLASH, Cholla, as well as Gadget, Gasoline, Arepo, Gizmo, and SWIFT.

ERF: Energy Research and Forecasting

The Energy Research and Forecasting (ERF) code is a new model that simulates the mesoscale and microscale dynamics of the atmosphere using the latest high-performance computing architectures. It employs hierarchical parallelism using an MPI+X model, where X may be OpenMP on multicore CPU-only systems, or CUDA, HIP, or SYCL on GPU-accelerated systems. ERF is built on AMReX (Zhang et al., 2019, 2021), a block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) software framework that provides the underlying performance-portable software infrastructure for block-structured mesh operations. The "energy" aspect of ERF indicates that the software has been developed with renewable energy applications in mind. In addition to being a numerical weather prediction model, ERF is designed to provide a flexible computational framework for the exploration and investigation of different physics parameterizations and numerical strategies, and to characterize the flow field that impacts the ability of wind turbines to extract wind energy. The ERF development is part of a broader effort led by the US Department of Energy's Wind Energy Technologies Office.

Fiats: Functional inference and training for surrogates

Fiats provides a platform for research on the training and deployment of neural-network surrogate models for computational science. Fiats also supports exploring, advancing, and combining functional, object-oriented, and parallel programming patterns in Fortran 2023. As such, the Fiats name has dual expansions: “Functional Inference And Training for Surrogates” or “Fortran Inference And Training for Science.” Fiats inference and training procedures are pure and therefore satisfy a language constraint imposed on procedure invocations inside Fortran’s parallel loop construct: do concurrent. Furthermore, the Fiats training procedures are built around a do concurrent parallel reduction. Several compilers can automatically parallelize do concurrent on Central Processing Units (CPUs) or Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). Fiats thus aims to achieve performance portability through standard language mechanisms.

The Multiphysics on Advanced Platforms Project

In 2015, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory started development of next-generation multiphysics simulation capabilities for the National Nuclear Security Administration under the Advanced Technologies Development and Mitigation (ATDM) element of the Advanced Simulation and Computing program in collaboration with the Exascale Computing Project (ECP). A key driver for this effort across the NNSA tri-lab was the emergence of advanced high performance computing (HPC) architectures based on heterogeneous compute capabilities, including GPU based systems, as part of the national drive toward exascale computing platforms at multiple Department of Energy (DOE) facilities. Developing a multiphysics code capable of meeting the various simulation needs of the NNSA as defined by the current generation of integrated codes (or ICs), initially developed as part of the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) program beginning in 1996, and able to scale to the current 100 petaflop class pre-exascale systems, as well the forthcoming exaflop class computers, is a daunting challenge. To accomplish this ambitious goal, LLNL has embraced two key themes: use of high-order numerical methods and a modular approach to code development. The LLNL next generation effort is organized under the Multi-Physics on Advanced Platforms Project (MAPP). A foundational component of MAPP is the Axom computer science (CS) toolkit which provides infrastructure for the development of modular, performance portable, multi-physics application codes. MARBL is a next-generation application code built on the Axom base to address the modeling needs of the high energy density physics (HEDP) community for simulating high-explosive, magnetic or laser driven experiments such as inertial confinement fusion (ICF), pulsed-power magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD), equation of state (EOS) and material strength studies as part of the NNSA’s stockpile stewardship program (SSP).

CodeFlow: A Code Generation System for Flash-X Orchestration Runtime

We propose the CodeFlow toolchain for Flash-X that realizes the “recipe-to-source” code transformation for Flash-X simulations and that is necessary to achive performance portability. We design a high-level language to express operations of simulations in so-called recipes, which are given as input to the toolchain. The tools of the CodeFlow pipeline include code transformation with tree-based source code representation techniques and code orchestration and generation based on control flow graphs. The generated source code utilizes a new runtime, developed for Flash-X, that orchestrates dynamic and asynchronous data movement and task execution. The functionality of CodeFlow is demonstrated using a hydrodynamic problem with a strong shock.
