Abstract: We present a restructured version of GPUSPH, a CUDA-based implementation of SPH. The new version is extended to allow execution on multiple GPUs on one or more host nodes, making it possible to concurrently exploit hundreds of devices across a network, allowing the simulation on larger domains and at higher resolutions. Partitioning of the computational domain is not limited anymore to parallel planes and can follow arbitrary, user-defined shapes at the resolution of individual cells, where the cell is defined by the auxiliary grid used for fast neighbor search.
