Abstract
En 中文
The Eikonal equation is used to calculate wave propagation and distance fields, and due to its complexity requires numerical treatment for its solution. We present a second-order distributed memory parallel fast sweeping method. The second-order solution switches on a two-point stencil when two upwind points are available, and reverts to first-order otherwise. In all examples, the second-order method improves the solution over the first -order, allowing for significant savings in memory while achieving the same accuracy. Parallelization over distributed memory saw good weak scaling with optimal convergence. The computational time for second-order was approximately 2.5 times slower than first -order, where the largest amount of mesh points ran on 144 cores (512 GB) was approximate to 20 billion. The savings in memory from the second-order method combined with the distributed memory algorithm result in the ability to solve problems much larger than are possible with the serial first-order method.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.
