Nalu-Wind Kernels – GPU transition

Open sayerhs opened this issue 6 years ago • 7 comments

Tracking the progress of conversion of Nalu-Wind kernels for execution on GPUs. The basic process of converting a non-HO Kernel to GPU can be seen in commits 1e9382f66f4823 (volume master element) and 5ee617e3ad555 (surface master element). The steps are:

  • Switch base class from Kernel to NGPKernel<T<AlgTraits>> where T = MomentumMassElemKernel for example.
  • Replace private/deleted default constructor with a default public constructor that has the KOKKOS_FUNCTION decorator.
  • Add KOKKOS_FUNCTION decorator to destructor, and use default where possible.
  • Remove all non-POD data types from the Kernel, i.e., remove Kokkos::View and any references (e.g., CoriosSrc stores a reference to SolutionOptions, this needs to be removed).
  • Remove any pointers to stk::mesh::FieldBase and replace them with field ordinals.
  • Switch the statement getting meSCS and meSCV pointer to use the templated get_surface_master_element and get_volume_master_element version; store a reference to this pointer in the instance variables for access in Kernel::execute method
  • Replace shape function logic by registering SCS_SHAPE_FCN to ElemDataRequests and accessing it via ScratchViews in Kernel::execute implementation. Access adjacentNodes and nodeMap variables via the meSCS_ and meSCV_ instances in the execute method.
  • Add DeviceShmem and DeviceTeamHandleType template parameters to arguments to the Kernel::execute method.
  • Convert the unit test and add an NGP_ prefix for easy filtering.
# Run only NGP-ready unit tests on GPU
$ ./unittest --gtest_filter=*.NGP*

Note that #186 may need to be resolved before some of the Kernels can be fully converted.

I'm currently working on kernel/ScalarMassElemKernel. (It's done and passing regression tests, but I don't have it unit-tested yet.)

@alanw0 Thanks, I'll use the [x] box to indicate someone is working on the kernel and then add the commit/pull-request ID to mark the kernel as DONE.

AssembleFaceElemSolverAlgorithm in progress by @alanw0

I am working on kernel/MomentumUpwAdvDiffElemKernel

I think I got kernel/TurbKineticEnergySSTSrcElemKernel with #209 . I'm going to try the rest of the SST kernels as well.

A note for when we return to element-based GPU conversion: Regarding AssembleFaceElemSolverAlgorithm. The run_algorithm method is converted and unit-tested, but the execute method needs to be converted next. Need to convert the unit-tests in UnitTestFaceElemBasic.C which call faceElemAlg.execute().

#829 removed these kernels
