# Astaroth - A Multi-GPU library for generic stencil computations
|
|
|
|
Astaroth is a single-node multi-GPU library for multiphysics and other problems, which involve stencil computations in a discrete mesh. It's licenced under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence, version 3, or later (see [LICENCE.txt](https://bitbucket.org/miikkavaisala/astaroth-code/src/master/astaroth_2.0/LICENCE.txt)). Astaroth ships with a domain-specific language, that can be used to translate high-level representation of the stencil computations into a heavily inlined GPU pipeline.
|
|
|
|
## System requirements
|
|
|
|
NVIDIA GPU with >= 3.0 compute capability. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA#GPUs_supported.
|
|
|
|
## Building (3rd party libraries)
|
|
|
|
1. `cd 3rdparty`
|
|
1. `./setup_dependencies.sh` Note: this may take some time.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to build the code as instructed below.
|
|
|
|
If you encounter issues, recheck that the 3rd party libraries were successfully built during the previous step.
|
|
|
|
### Method I: In the code directory
|
|
|
|
1. `cd build/`
|
|
1. `cmake -DDOUBLE_PRECISION=OFF -DBUILD_DEBUG=OFF ..` (Use `cmake -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=icc -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpc -DDOUBLE_PRECISION=OFF -DBUILD_DEBUG=OFF ..` if compiling on TIARA)
|
|
1. `../scripts/compile_acc.sh && make -j`
|
|
1. `./ac_run <options>`
|
|
|
|
Edit `config/astaroth.conf` to change the numerical setup.
|
|
|
|
### Method II: With a script in a custom build directory (RECOMMENDED)
|
|
|
|
1. `source sourceme.sh` to add relevant directories to the `PATH`
|
|
1. `ac_mkbuilddir.sh -b my_build_dir/` to set up a custom build directory. There are also other options available. See `ac_mkbuilddir.sh -h` for more.
|
|
1. `compile_acc.sh` to generate kernels from the Domain Specific Language
|
|
1. `cd my_build_dir/`
|
|
1. `make -j`
|
|
1. `./ac_run <options>`
|
|
|
|
Edit `my_build_dir/astaroth.conf` to change the numerical setup.
|
|
|
|
### Available options
|
|
|
|
- `-s` simulation
|
|
- `-b` benchmark
|
|
- `-t` automated test
|
|
|
|
By default, the program does a real-time visualization of the simulation domain. The camera and the initial conditions can be controller by `arrow keys`, `pgup`, `pgdown` and `spacebar`.
|
|
|
|
## Visualization
|
|
|
|
See `analysis/python/` directory of existing data visualization and analysis scripts.
|
|
|
|
## Generating documentation
|
|
|
|
Run `doxygen doxyfile` in astaroth_2.0 directory. The generated files can be found in `doc/doxygen`. The main page of the documentation will be at `dox/doxygen/astaroth_doc_html/index.html`.
|
|
|
|
## Formatting
|
|
|
|
If you have clang-format, you may run `scripts/fix_style.sh`. This script will recursively fix style of all the source files down from the current working directory. The script will ask for a confirmation before making any changes.
|
|
|
|
## Directory structure
|
|
|
|
## Coding style.
|
|
|
|
### In a nutshell
|
|
- Use [K&R indentation style](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentation_style#K&R_style) and 4 space tabs.
|
|
- Line width is 100 characters
|
|
- Start function names after a linebreak in source files.
|
|
- [Be generous with `const` type qualifiers](https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/const-correctness).
|
|
- When in doubt, see [Google C++ Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html).
|
|
|
|
### Header example:
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Licence notice and doxygen description here
|
|
#pragma once
|
|
#include "avoid_including_headers_here.h"
|
|
|
|
/** Doxygen comments */
|
|
void globalFunction(void);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Source example:
|
|
```cpp
|
|
#include "parent_header.h"
|
|
|
|
#include <standard_library_headers.h>
|
|
|
|
#include "other_headers.h"
|
|
#include "more_headers.h"
|
|
|
|
typedef struct {
|
|
int data;
|
|
} SomeStruct;
|
|
|
|
static inline int small_function(const SomeStruct& stuff) { return stuff.data; }
|
|
|
|
// Pass constant structs always by reference (&) and use const type qualifier.
|
|
// Modified structs are always passed as pointers (*), never as references.
|
|
// Constant parameters should be on the left-hand side, while non-consts go to the right.
|
|
static void
|
|
local_function(const SomeStruct& constant_struct, SomeStruct* modified_struct)
|
|
{
|
|
modified_struct->data = constant_struct.data;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
void
|
|
globalFunction(void)
|
|
{
|
|
return;
|
|
}
|
|
```
