چکیده

The PYRAMID parallel unstructured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) library has been coupled with the GeoFEST geophysical finite element simulation tool to support parallel active tectonics simulations. Specifically, we have demonstrated modeling of coseismic and postseismic surface displacement due to a simulated Earthquake for the Landers system of interacting faults in Southern California. The new software demonstrated a 25-times resolution improvement and a 4-times reduction in time to solution over the sequential baseline milestone case. Simulations on workstations using a few tens of thousands of stress displacement finite elements can now be expanded to multiple millions of elements with greater than 98% scaled efficiency on various parallel platforms over many hundreds of processors. Our most recent work has demonstrated that we can dynamically adapt the computational grid as stress grows on a fault. In this paper, we will describe the major issues and challenges associated with coupling these two programs to create GeoFEST(P). Performance and visualization results will also be described.

AMRSim : An Object - Oriented Performance Simulator for Parallel Adaptive Mesh Renement

Adaptive mesh refinement is complicated by both the algorithms and the dynamic nature of the computations. In parallel the complexity of getting good performance is dependent upon the architecture and the application. Most attempts to address the complexity of AMR have lead to the development of library solutions, most have developed object-oriented libraries or frameworks. All attempts to date...

Highly parallel structured adaptive mesh refinement using parallel language-based approaches

Adaptive Mesh Re®nement (AMR) calculations carried out on structured meshes play an exceedingly important role in several areas of science and engineering. This is so not just because AMR techniques allow us to carry out calculations very eciently but also because they model very precisely the multi-scale fashion in which nature itself works. Many AMR applications are also amongst the most com...
