| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Turbulent phenomena are one of the important topics in CFD. In order to understand the detail of airflows, it is necessary to carry out large-scale CFD simulations. We have developed a CFD code based on LBM (Lattice Boltzmann Method) for GPU supercomputers. We calculated a large-scale wind simulation for a 10km × 10km area in Tokyo. We used 4,032 GPUs for the computation with 10,080 × 10,240 × 512 mesh. By executing a large-scale wind simulation, we confirm large-scale structure of wind and detailed winds behind buildings. The code is written in CUDA and the GPU kernel function is well tuned to achieve high performance on TSUBAME supercomputer. By introducing the overlapping technique between the GPU-to-GPU communication and the GPU kernel computation, we achieved 1.14 PFLOPS using 3968 GPUs in single precision on TSUBAME 2.5.
