Distributed Parallelization of xPU Stencil Computations in Julia

Abstract

We present a straightforward approach for distributed parallelization of stencil-based xPU applications on a regular staggered grid, which is instantiated in the package ImplicitGlobalGrid.jl. The approach allows to leverage remote direct memory access and enables close to ideal weak scaling of real-world applications on thousands of GPUs. The communication costs can be easily hidden behind computation.
