Overview

As CFD simulation requirements grow and motivate the need for higher-fidelity with more transient and multi-scale simulations, HPC must advance towards system architectures that provide practical solutions to CFD demands. This talk will examine the contributions that GPU technology has made in the current state of applied CFD, and GPU feature developments that will shape CFD directions and methods. A review on the state-of-play will include GPU-parallel strategies and performance characteristics for widely used software in the CFD community that quantifies the benefits of GPU-based HPC architectures.
