HONEI: A collection of libraries for numerical computations targeting multiple processor architectures

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018)

Abstract
We present HONEI, an open-source collection of libraries offering a hardware oriented approach to numerical calculations. HONEI abstracts the hardware, and applications written on top of HONEI can be executed on a wide range of computer architectures such as CPUs, GPUs and the Cell processor. We demonstrate the flexibility and performance of our approach with two test applications, a Finite Element multigrid solver for the Poisson problem and a robust and fast simulation of shallow water wave...

Nature of problem
Computational science in general and numerical simulation in particular have reached a turning point. The revolution developers are facing is not primarily driven by a change in (problem-specific) methodology, but rather by the fundamental paradigm shift of the underlying hardware towards heterogeneity and parallelism. This is particularly relevant for data-intensive problems stemming from discretisations with local support, such as finite differences, volumes and elements.

摘要
我们呈现HONEI，这是一个开源的库集合，它采用面向硬件的数值计算方法。HONEI抽象化了硬件，基于HONEI编写的应用程序可在多种计算机架构上执行，如CPU、GPU以及Cell处理器。我们通过两个测试应用程序展示了我们方法的灵活性和性能，包括用于泊松问题的有限元多重网格求解器和针对浅水波模拟的稳健且快速的仿真。

程序名称：HONEI
目录编号：AEDW_v1_0

问题性质
在一般计算科学和特别是数值模拟领域，我们已经达到了一个转折点。开发者所面临的革命并非主要由（特定问题的）方法论的变革所驱动，而是由底层硬件的基本范式转变——即向异构化和并行化的转变所主导。这对于源于具有局部支持离散化的数据密集型问题尤为重要，例如有限元、有限差分和体积等。
