Performance tests and analyses are critical to effective high-performance computing software development and are central components in the design and implementation of computational algorithms for achieving faster simulations on existing and future computing architectures for large-scale application problems. In this article, we explore performance and space-time trade-offs for important compute-intensive kernels of large-scale numerical solvers for partial differential equations (PDEs) that govern a wide range of physical applications. We consider a sequence of PDE-motivated bake-off problems designed to establish best practices for efficient high-order simulations across a variety of codes and platforms. We measure peak performance (degrees of freedom per second) on a fixed number of nodes and identify effective code optimization strategies for each architecture. In addition to peak performance, we identify the minimum time to solution at 80% parallel efficiency. The performance analysis is based on spectral and p-type finite elements but is equally applicable to a broad spectrum of numerical PDE discretizations, including finite difference, finite volume, and h-type finite elements.

An implicit numerical method has been adopted for the solution to the three-dimensional, energy boundary-layer equation. The energy equation is written in terms of a dimensionless temperature function, the relative stagnation-enthalpy difference, and transformed by the introduction of a Blasius-type transformation of coordinates as well as dimensionless stream functions. The method is applied to the problem consisting of an infinite cylinder joined with its axis perpendicular to a thin, flat, heated plate. A Prandtl number equal to one is simply considered.
