Abstract
In this work we directly evaluate five candidate programming models for future exascale applications (MPI, MPI+OpenMP, MPI+OpenACC, MPI+CUDA and CAF) using a recently developed Lagrangian-Eulerian explicit hydrodynamics mini-application. The aim of this work is to better inform the exacsale planning at large HPC centres such as AWE. Such organisations invest significant resources maintaining and updating existing scientific codebases, many of which were not designed to run at the scale required to reach exascale levels of computation on future system architectures. We present our results and experiences of scaling these different approaches to high node counts on existing large-scale Cray systems (Titan and HECToR). We also examine the effect that improving the mapping between process layout and the underlying machine interconnect topology can have on performance and scalability, as well as highlighting several communication-focused optimisations.
