Parthenon: A Performance Portable Block-Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement Framework

Parthenon is a performance portable block-structured adaptive mesh refinement framework.

We are currently in the process of migrating to new documentation here. The old documentation can be found in markdown here.

Key Features

  • Device first/device resident approach (work data only in device memory to prevent expensive transfers between host and device)

  • Transparent packing of data across blocks (to reduce/hide kernel launch latency)

  • Direct device-to-device communication via asynchronous, one-sided MPI communication

  • Intermediate abstraction layer to hide complexity of device kernel launches

  • Flexible, plug-in package system

  • Abstract variables controlled via metadata flags

  • Support for particles

  • Multi-stage drivers/integrators with support for task-based parallelism
