The presentation summarizes in a rather informal and philosophical, but thoroughly informative way the development history of the MPI version of UnTRIM ten years after finalizing the parallel code applied subsequently for practical projects at BAW.
Transparencies from the talk delivered on 15th UnTRIM Workshop in Trento (28-30th May 2018) are available.

BAW internal R&D-project report, 2010-2012.
Abstract: The aim of the R&D-project is development and application of new programming paradigms in high performance computing through the adaptation of Casulli algorithms for arriving parallel computer architectures with hardware acceleration. Additionally, the existing advection schemes should be adapted for all flow regimes. Continue reading

Abstract: The rapid changes in the present computer architectures throw questions concerning the future of the hardware-oriented programming based on the usage of heterogeneous parallel computing resources, consisting of nodes of interconnected, but separate CPUs and GPUs. However, it is believed that the sustainability of the programming efforts nowadays is to be searched in the fact that the principle source of the performance of the present GPUs as well as the emerging APUs is the hardware acceleration of vector operations. Therefore, this contribution delivers an assessment of a hardware-accelerated parallel implementation of a principal algorithm for a vertically integrated finite difference scheme for free surface flows including non-linear treatment of wetting and drying.
