The Changing Landscape of HPC: CPU and GPU Performance in CFD Simulations
This presentation provides a brief historical overview of the development of central processing units (CPUs) used in High-Performance Computing (HPC), with a particular focus on computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The present overview is based on the presenter's experience, highlighting selected milestones in processor architecture, from the continuous improvement of single-core performance through the introduction of multi-core processors to today's architectures designed for highly parallel computing.
The main part of the presentation focuses on comparing the computational performance of modern CPUs and graphics processing units (GPUs) used for CFD simulations. Beyond theoretical peak performance, particular attention is paid to the actual efficiency of different hardware architectures in solving representative CFD problems. Key aspects include parallelization capabilities, memory bandwidth, computational throughput, and the influence of numerical algorithms on achievable performance. It is also important to recognize that the benefits of a particular hardware architecture depend strongly on the CFD software, numerical methods, and physical phenomena being simulated.
Jindřich Kňourek is a researcher affiliated with the New Technologies Research Centre (NTC) at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Czech Republic. He is a member of the Modelling and Simulation of Technical Systems research team. His research activities focus on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), computational modelling, and experimental support for industry-oriented R&D projects. He is also involved in the administration and maintenance of a local high-performance computing (HPC) cluster and in the evaluation and selection of GPU hardware for CFD simulations.
