Description: SPECFEM3D Cartesian simulates acoustic (fluid), elastic (solid), coupled acoustic/elastic, poroelastic or seismic wave propagation in any type of conforming mesh of hexahedra (structured or not.) It can, for instance, model seismic waves propagating in sedimentary basins or any other regional geological model following earthquakes. It can also be used for nondestructive testing or for ocean acoustics. More here. Availability: • Code: Available here. Specific version is r20645e5-2697 v3 • Recipe: Available here. Optimization guide available here. Usage Model: Symmetric run on 2S Intel® Xeon® processor and Intel® Xeon Phi coprocessor 7120P, MPI + OpenMP* programming, and with a large rank count. Highlights: • Hybridized code and major hotspots were multi-threaded. • Performance gain with the Intel compiler flag “-xCORE-AVX2”. Results: • For 1 and 2 nodes, 1 Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor 7120P created up to 1.16X gain compared to a 2S Intel Xeon processor E5-2697 v3. • For larger node counts, MPI dominates and there is no benefit using the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.
