Performance of a Spectral Element Atmospheric Model (seam) on the Hp Exemplar Spp2000

چکیده
We describe the performance of a Spectral Element Atmospheric Model (SEAM) on the HP Exemplar SPP2000. SEAM uses spectral elements in the horizontal directions and sigma coordinates in the vertical. The model is both spectrally accurate, as demonstrated by a variety of test cases, and is well suited for modern distributed-shared memory computers, as demonstrated by the fact that we achieve 24 GFlops on a 240 processor HP Exemplar. More important to climate modelers, a 64 processor Exemplar can integrate a 20 level, 160 km resolution SEAM dynamical core at a rate of 3.6 wall clock hours per model year. SEAM is portable and is implemented in FORTRAN 77 with message passing calls.

Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Bending of Straight Beams Using hp-Spectral Approximations
Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...
متن کاملhp-Spectral Finite Element Analysis of Shear Deformable Beams and Plates
There are different finite element models in place for predicting the bending behavior of shear deformable beams and plates. Mostly, the literature abounds with traditional equi-spaced Langrange based low order finite element approximations using displacement formulations. However, the finite element models of Timoshenko beams and Mindlin plates with linear interpolation of all generalized disp...

The Convex Exemplar (SPP1000 and SPP2000 series) is a new commercial distributed shared-memory architecture. Using a set of system kernels and two application programs, we examine performance eeects on network latency, hot spot contention, cache coherence and overall scaling capability, which result both from the choice of the network structure as well as from its CC-NUMA memory system feature....

Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed traditionally using conventional finite element basis functions (i.e., cubic Hermite, equi-spaced Lagrange interpolation functions, or spectral/hp Legendre functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, tota...
