--- _id: '21587' abstract: - lang: eng text: Solving partial differential equations on unstructured grids is a cornerstone of engineering and scientific computing. Nowadays, heterogeneous parallel platforms with CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs enable energy-efficient and computationally demanding simulations. We developed the HighPerMeshes C++-embedded Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for bridging the abstraction gap between the mathematical and algorithmic formulation of mesh-based algorithms for PDE problems on the one hand and an increasing number of heterogeneous platforms with their different parallel programming and runtime models on the other hand. Thus, the HighPerMeshes DSL aims at higher productivity in the code development process for multiple target platforms. We introduce the concepts as well as the basic structure of the HighPerMeshes DSL, and demonstrate its usage with three examples, a Poisson and monodomain problem, respectively, solved by the continuous finite element method, and the discontinuous Galerkin method for Maxwell’s equation. The mapping of the abstract algorithmic description onto parallel hardware, including distributed memory compute clusters, is presented. Finally, the achievable performance and scalability are demonstrated for a typical example problem on a multi-core CPU cluster. author: - first_name: Samer full_name: Alhaddad, Samer id: '42456' last_name: Alhaddad - first_name: Jens full_name: Förstner, Jens id: '158' last_name: Förstner orcid: 0000-0001-7059-9862 - first_name: Stefan full_name: Groth, Stefan last_name: Groth - first_name: Daniel full_name: Grünewald, Daniel last_name: Grünewald - first_name: Yevgen full_name: Grynko, Yevgen id: '26059' last_name: Grynko - first_name: Frank full_name: Hannig, Frank last_name: Hannig - first_name: Tobias full_name: Kenter, Tobias id: '3145' last_name: Kenter - first_name: Franz-Josef full_name: Pfreundt, Franz-Josef last_name: Pfreundt - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 - first_name: Merlind full_name: Schotte, Merlind last_name: Schotte - first_name: Thomas full_name: Steinke, Thomas last_name: Steinke - first_name: Jürgen full_name: Teich, Jürgen last_name: Teich - first_name: Martin full_name: Weiser, Martin last_name: Weiser - first_name: Florian full_name: Wende, Florian last_name: Wende citation: ama: 'Alhaddad S, Förstner J, Groth S, et al.

Compared to regular grids, they allow resembling the computational domain with a much higher accuracy, which in turn leads to more efficient computations.
There exists a wealth of supporting libraries and frameworks that aid programmers with the implementation of applications working on such grids, each built on top of existing parallelization technologies. However, many approaches require the programmer to introduce a different programming paradigm into their application or provide different variants of the code. SYCL is a new programming standard providing a remedy to this dilemma by building on standard C ++17 with its so-called single-source approach: Programmers write standard C ++ code and expose parallelism using C++17 keywords. The application is
then transformed into a concrete implementation by the SYCL implementation. By encapsulating the OpenCL ecosystem, different SYCL implementations enable not only the programming of CPUs but also of heterogeneous platforms such as GPUs or other devices. For the first time, this paper showcases a SYCL-
based solver for the nodal Discontinuous Galerkin method for Maxwell’s equations on unstructured meshes. We compare our solution to a previous C-based implementation with respect to programmability and performance on heterogeneous platforms.Proceedings of the 29th Annual IEEE International Conference on Application-Specific Systems, Architectures and Processors (ASAP). ; 2018:49-56. doi:10.1109/ASAP.2018.8445127' apa: 'Afzal, A., Schmitt, C., Alhaddad, S., Grynko, Y., Teich, J., Förstner, J., & Hannig, F.

In computational sciences, often more advanced methods are employed that promise better stability, convergence, locality and scaling. Unstructured meshes are shown to be more effective and more accurate, compared to regular grids, in representing computation domains of various shapes. Using unstructured meshes, the discontinuous Galerkin method preserves the ability to perform explicit local update operations for simulations in the time domain. In this work, we investigate FPGAs as target platform for an implementation of the nodal discontinuous Galerkin method to find time-domain solutions of Maxwell's equations in an unstructured mesh. When maximizing data reuse and fitting constant coefficients into suitably partitioned on-chip memory, high computational intensity allows us to implement and feed wide data paths with hundreds of floating point operators. By decoupling off-chip memory accesses from the computations, high memory bandwidth can be sustained, even for the irregular access pattern required by parts of the application. Using the Intel/Altera OpenCL SDK for FPGAs, we present different implementation variants for different polynomial orders of the method. In different phases of the algorithm, either computational or bandwidth limits of the Arria 10 platform are almost reached, thus outperforming a highly multithreaded CPU implementation by around 2x. author: - first_name: Tobias full_name: Kenter, Tobias id: '3145' last_name: Kenter - first_name: Gopinath full_name: Mahale, Gopinath last_name: Mahale - first_name: Samer full_name: Alhaddad, Samer id: '42456' last_name: Alhaddad - first_name: Yevgen full_name: Grynko, Yevgen id: '26059' last_name: Grynko - first_name: Christian full_name: Schmitt, Christian last_name: Schmitt - first_name: Ayesha full_name: Afzal, Ayesha last_name: Afzal - first_name: Frank full_name: Hannig, Frank last_name: Hannig - first_name: Jens full_name: Förstner, Jens id: '158' last_name: Förstner orcid: 0000-0001-7059-9862 - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 citation: ama: 'Kenter T, Mahale G, Alhaddad S, et al.

In this work, we evaluate the extent of this promise. To this end, we present a parameterized FDTD implementation for photonic microcavity simulations. Our design can trade-off different forms of parallelism and works for two independent OpenCL-based FPGA design flows. Hence, we can target FPGAs from different vendors and different FPGA families. We describe how we used pre-processor macros to achieve this flexibility and to work around different shortcomings of the current tools. Choosing the right design configurations, we are able to present two extremely competitive solutions for very different FPGA targets, reaching up to 172 GFLOPS sustained performance. With the portability and flexibility demonstrated, code developers not only avoid vendor lock-in, but can even make best use of real trade-offs between different architectures. author: - first_name: Tobias full_name: Kenter, Tobias id: '3145' last_name: Kenter - first_name: Jens full_name: Förstner, Jens id: '158' last_name: Förstner orcid: 0000-0001-7059-9862 - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 citation: ama: 'Kenter T, Förstner J, Plessl C.

A promising but hardly investigated approach is to develop tool flows that keep the common languages for scientific code (C,C++, and Fortran) and allow the developer to augment the source code with OpenMPlike directives for instructing the compiler which parts of the application shall be offloaded the FPGA accelerator.\r\nIn this work we study whether the promise of effective FPGA acceleration with an OpenMP-like programming effort\r\ncan actually be held. Our target system is the Convey HC-1 reconfigurable computer for which an OpenMP-like\r\nprogramming environment exists. As case study we use an application from computational nanophotonics. Our results\r\nshow that a developer without previous FPGA experience could create an FPGA-accelerated application that is competitive to an optimized OpenMP-parallelized CPU version running on a two socket quad-core server. Finally, we discuss our experiences with this tool flow and the Convey HC-1 from a productivity and economic point of view." author: - first_name: Björn full_name: Meyer, Björn last_name: Meyer - first_name: Jörn full_name: Schumacher, Jörn last_name: Schumacher - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 - first_name: Jens full_name: Förstner, Jens id: '158' last_name: Förstner orcid: 0000-0001-7059-9862 citation: ama: 'Meyer B, Schumacher J, Plessl C, Förstner J.
