Towards Optimal Parallel PM N-body Codes: PMFAST
We present a new parallel PM N-body code named PMFAST that is freely available to the public. PMFAST is based on a two-level mesh gravity solver where the gravitational forces are separated into long and short range components. The decomposition scheme minimizes communication costs and allows tolerance for slow networks. The code approaches optimality in several dimensions. The force computatio...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Parallel N-Body Codes
-body codes are routinely exploited for simulation studies of physical systems, e.g. in the fields of Computational Astrophysics and Molecular Dynamics. Typically, they require only a moderate amount of run-time memory, but are very demanding in computational power. A detailed analysis of an -body code performance, in terms of the relative weight of each task of the code, and how such weight is...
متن کاملTowards optimal softening in 3 D N - body codes : I . Minimizing the force error
In N -body simulations of collisionless stellar systems, the forces are softened to reduce the large fluctuations due to shot noise. Softening essentially modifies the law of gravity at r = |xi − xj | smaller than some softening length ǫ. Therefore, the softened forces are increasingly biased for ever larger ǫ, and there is some optimal ǫ which yields the best compromise between reducing the fl...
متن کاملTowards an optimal parallel decoding of turbo codes
High throughput decoding of turbo-codes can be achieved thanks to parallel decoding. However, for finite block sizes, the initialisation duration of each half-iteration reduces the activity of the processing units, especially for higher degrees of parallelism. To solve this issue, a new decoding scheduling is proposed, with a partial processing overlapping of two successive half iterations. Pot...
متن کاملGRACOS: Scalable and Load Balanced PM Cosmological N-body Code
We present a parallel implementation of the particle-particle/particle-mesh (PM) algorithm for distributed memory clusters. The GRACOS (GRAvitational COSmology) code uses a hybrid method for both computation and domain decomposition. Long-range forces are computed using a Fourier transform gravity solver on a regular mesh; the mesh is distributed across parallel processes using a static one-dim...
