An optimized D2Q37 Lattice Boltzmann code on GP-GPUs

Abstract
We describe the implementation of a thermal compressible Lattice Boltzmann algorithm on an NVIDIA Tesla C2050 system based on the Fermi GP-GPU. We consider two different versions, including and not including reactive effects. We describe the overall organization of the algorithm and give details on its implementations. Efficiency ranges from 25% to 31% of the double precision peak performance of the GP-GPU. We compare our results with a different implementation of the same algorithm, developed and optimized for many-core Intel Westmere CPUs. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
