Bibliographic record
Abstract
View Video Presentation: https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2023-1226.vid High-performance computing (HPC) architectures are trending toward manycore paradigms such as graphics processing units (GPUs). Approximately half of the top 100 publicly disclosed supercomputers in the world utilize GPU accelerators for performance. This is in contrast to a decade ago, where there were only a few such machines in the top 100. It is not currently possible to compile and run legacy central processing unit (CPU) software efficiently on GPUs without significant refactoring. Though a number of frameworks offering performance portability exist, none offer a standardized specification that is supported by all major hardware vendors. Additionally, experiences show that obtaining a high percentage of peak performance often requires architecture-specific code. This work details a pragmatic multi-architecture computational fluid dynamics library focused on aerospace problems across the speed range from low subsonic to hypersonic flows involving thermochemical nonequilibrium. A thin abstraction layer above NVIDIA CUDA C++ is utilized, which enables primarily single-source software currently capable of running efficiently on multicore CPUs, NVIDIA GPUs, AMD GPUs, and Intel GPUs. Results on various problems of interest across the speed range are presented and performance is compared between various architectures.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
