Abstract [en]

We present our work on developing a hybrid parallel programming model for a general finite element solver. The main focus of our work is to demonstrate that legacy codes with high latency, two-sided communication in the form of message passing can be improved using lightweight one-sided communication. We introduce a new hybrid MPI/PGAS implementation of the open source general finite element framework FEniCS, replacing the linear algebra backend (PETSc) with a new library written in UPC. A detailed description of the linear algebra backend implementation and the hybrid interface to FEniCS is given. We also present a detailed analysis of the performance of this hybrid solver on the Cray XE6 Lindgren at PDC/KTH including a comparison with the MPI only implementation, where we find that the hybrid implementation results in significant improvements in performance of the solver.
