We showcase the port to Julia of a massively parallel Multi-GPU solver for spontaneous nonlinear multi-physics flow localization in 3-D. Our contribution is ... (more…)

We evaluate Julia as a single language and ecosystem paradigm powered by LLVM to develop workflow components for high-performance computing. We run a Gray-Scott, 2-variable diffusion-reaction application using a memory-bound, 7-point stencil kernel on Fro... (more…)
