Accelerating Lagrangian transport simulations on graphics processing units: performance optimizations of Massive-Parallel Trajectory Calculations (MPTRAC) v2.6

Abstract 10 8 particles driven by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA5 reanalysis, we found that the runtime for the full set of physics computations was reduced by 75 %, including a reduction of 85 % for the advection kernel. In addition to demonstrating the benefits of code optimization for GPUs, we show that the runtime of central processing unit (CPU-) only simulations is also improved. For our largest test case, we found a runtime reduction of 34 % for the physics computations, including a reduction of 65 % for the advection kernel. The code optimizations discussed here bring the MPTRAC model closer to applications on upcoming exascale high-performance computing systems and will also be of interest for optimizing the performance of other models using particle methods.
