Quinoa_v0.2

Quinoa Version 0.2, C17087.

ABSTRACT

Quinoa is a set of computational tools that enables research and
numerical analysis in fluid dynamics. At this time it remains a test-bed
to experiment with various algorithms using fully asynchronous runtime
systems. Currently, Quinoa consists of the following tools: (1) Walker,
a numerical integrator for systems of stochastic differential equations
in time. It is a mathematical tool to analyze and design the behavior of
stochastic differential equations. It allows the estimation of arbitrary
coupled statistics and probability density functions and is currently
used for the design of statistical moment approximations for multiple
mixing materials in variable-density turbulence. (2) Inciter, an
overdecomposition-aware finite element field solver for partial
differential equations using 3D unstructured grids. Inciter is used to
research asynchronous mesh-based algorithms and to experiment with
coupling asynchronous to bulk-synchronous parallel code. Two planned new
features of Inciter, compared to the previous release (LA-CC-16-015), to
be implemented in 2017, are (a) a simple Navier-Stokes solver for ideal
single-material compressible gases, and (b) solution-adaptive mesh
refinement (AMR), which enables dynamically concentrating compute
resources to regions with interesting physics. Using the NS-AMR problem
we plan to explore how to scale such high-load-imbalance simulations,
representative of large production multiphysics codes, to very large
problems on very large computers using an asynchronous runtime system.
(3) RNGTest, a test harness to subject random number generators to
stringent statistical tests enabling quantitative ranking with respect
to their quality and computational cost. (4) UnitTest, a unit test
harness, running hundreds of tests per second, capable of testing
serial, synchronous, and asynchronous functions. (5) MeshConv, a mesh
file converter that can be used to convert 3D tetrahedron meshes from
and to either of the following formats: Gmsh, http://www.geuz.org/gmsh,
Netgen, http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/netgen-mesher, ExodusII,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/exodusii, HyperMesh,
