Efficiency of A Hybrid Parallel Algorithm For Phase-Field Simulation of Polycrystalline Solidification in 3D
Main Article Content
Abstract
We revisit our previously developed algorithm for phase-field simulation of solidification of an arbitrary number of crystals with random crystallographic orientations and a fully resolved 3D dendritic geometry. In this contribution, its hybrid parallel implementation based on the combination of MPI and OpenMP standards undergoes parallel efficiency tests. The results reveal the settings for optimal performance and their dependence on the number of CPUs used. Next, the performance benefits of using the algorithm for single crystal growth are explained. Finally, a very high resolution simulation is demonstrated together with its computational costs.
