ProteusGPU

Proteus is a GPU accelerated moving mesh hydrodynamics code.

It combines the algorithmic approach of "Meshless Voronoi on the GPU" [Ray et. al 2018] with a moving mesh hydro solver similar to "AREPO" [Springel 2010] ported to GPU.

Note

The current version runs 2D/3D static/moving mesh hydrodynamics multithreaded on CPU, as well as on a single NVIDIA GPU. Optimizations are ongoing.

This project is being done during my master's thesis, supervised by Dylan Nelson, at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, Heidelberg University.

Getting started

1. After cloning the repo select your system in Makefile.systype (or add your own to the Makefile)
2. Configure compilation flags in Config.sh and build with make
3. Use a create.py script for IC generation and specify simulation parameters in param.txt
4. Run the simulation with

./ProteusGPU [./ics/param.txt] [restart_flag]

If the restart_flag is set the simulation continues from the last snapshot in the output_folder.

Dependencies

• HDF5 (libhdf5-dev on Ubuntu, via Homebrew on macOS)
• CUDA Toolkit (for GPU mode, requires NVIDIA GPU)

Roadmap

• v0.1 - kNN and Voronoi mesh construction (2D and 3D, CPU)
• v0.2 - first order FV hydro (static mesh, 2D and 3D, CPU)
• v0.3 - second order FV hydro (static mesh, 2D and 3D, CPU)
• v0.4 - moving mesh hydro (2D, CPU)
• v0.5 - moving mesh hydro (3D, CPU)
• v0.6 - GPU initial port (moving mesh hydro)
• v0.7 - single GPU optimization
• v0.8 - multi-GPU, single node
• v0.9 - multi-node MPI
• v1.0 - support for inhomogenous particle distributions
