Poster: The Hashed Oct-Tree N-Body Algorithm at a Petaflop
Michael S. Warren, Ben Bergen · 2012
We have recently demonstrated our hashed oct-tree N-body code (HOT) scaling to 256k processors on Jaguar at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with a performance of 1.79 Petaflops (single precision) on 2 trillion particles. We have additionally performed preliminary studies with NVIDIA Fermi GPUs, achieving single GPU performance on our hexadecapole inner loop near 1 Tflop (single precision) and application performance speedup of 2x by offloading the most computationally intensive part of the code to the GPU.
