Parallelisation of equation-based simulation programs on heterogeneous computing systems.

ABSTRACT: Numerical solutions of equation-based simulations require computationally intensive tasks such as evaluation of model equations, linear algebra operations and solution of systems of linear equations. The focus in this work is on parallel evaluation of model equations on shared memory systems such as general purpose processors (multi-core CPUs and manycore devices), streaming processors (Graphics Processing Units and Field Programmable Gate Arrays) and heterogeneous systems. The current approaches for evaluation of model equations are reviewed and their capabilities and shortcomings analysed. Since stream computing differs from traditional computing in that the system processes a sequential stream of elements, equations must be transformed into a data structure suitable for both types.
