Research Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a stencil calculation and communication model without scalability attenuation in exascale computing environment, and to develop the Halo communication function used there. First, in the stencil simulation, we developed a model that divides threads into "calculation" and "calculation and communication that require communication (including pack / unpack of communication data)". As a result, there is no need for synchronization to know when the communication has ended, and deterioration of parallel performance can be avoided. Then, we summarized a Halo function group from the model so that it could be easily used in other applications. These performances were measured in an environment using 2000 nodes, and high scalability was confirmed.
