Towards Improving the Performance of the ADCIRC Storm Surge Modeling Software

SESSION: ACM Student Research Competition Poster Reception

EVENT TYPE: ACM Student Research Competition

TIME: 5:15PM - 7:00PM

AUTHOR(S):Nick Weidner

ROOM:New Orleans Theater Lobby

ABSTRACT:

The objective of this work was to run the ADVanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC) storm surge modeling software on the Stampede Super Computer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center. In order to take advantage of the Intel Xeon Phi Co-Processors, we identified code hotspots from the host processors and then increased the speed by implementing OpenMP on parallel work. We then worked to offload the threaded work on the Xeon-Phis in order to identify speed up in comparison to previous test.
