Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Modern high-performance computing (HPC) systems are increasingly built with graphics processing units (GPUs) as the primary computing device and are increasingly targeted at highly parallel applications. It is thus of great importance to make efficient use of GPUs for time-implicit solvers for computational fluid dynamics. While highly parallel linear relaxations, such as Jacobi, have existed for a long time, they often suffer from poor convergence rates. We demonstrate that a new crop of fine-grain parallel point-block linear iterations drawn from asynchronous iterations and sparse approximate inverses can achieve robust and scalable speedups over the current state of practice – multicolour Gauss–Seidel iterations – on three generations of GPUs in the context of nonlinear multigrid solvers on multi-block structured grids for compressible Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
