+ | Since March 2019, this solver is in the distribution of Elmer. It has more or less the functionality of the legacy Navier-Stokes solver, i.e., is able to use any linear solution procedure (including the library version of block-preconditioner). The difference and improvement in performance is given by the vectorized assembly routines utilizing a general way of SIMD enables bi-linear forms. Since this uses OpenMP SIMD instructions, | ||

+ | ==== Performance improvements ==== | ||
+ | Testing on a Skylake high-end consumer PC with a quad-core CPU, the new solver showed a reduction of 2/3rd of the computing time for the 10km ISMIP-HOM C experiments run on a 30 x 30 x 15 (13500) node mesh partitioned into 4 partitions. As the same (direct) linear solver was used, this gain was solely achieved in the assembly part. The vectorization tremendously increases the memory throughput and hence the performance. |
