Abstract

En 中文

Optimized parallel implementations on GPU or CPU have dramatically enhanced the fidelity, resolution and accuracy of physical simulations and mesh-based algorithms. However, attaining optimal performance requires expert knowledge and might demand complex code and memory layout optimizations. This adds to the fact that physical simulation algorithms require the implementation of derivatives, which can be a tedious and error-prone process. In recent years, researchers and practitioners have investigated the concept of designing systems that allow for a more expressive definition of mesh-based simulation code. These systems leverage domain-specific languages (DSL), automatic differentiation or symbolic computing to enhance readability of implementations without compromising performance. We follow this line of work and propose a symbolic code generation approach tailored to mesh-based computations on parallel devices. Our system extends related work by incorporating collision handling and a data access synchronization approach, enabling rapid sparse matrix assembly.
