Abstract The dynamic failure process of structures under impact and explosive loading is very common in both military and industrial fields. However, the conventional mesh-based method has some shortcomings, such as large mesh distortion and sliding surface treatment. Some typical phenomena are difficult to be simulated. The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method has natural advantages in treating large material deformations in impact and explosion problems [1]. To make the SPH method suitable for the impact and explosion problems, it is also improved by some treatments [2] to avoid inherent stress instability and unphysical oscillation. However, numerical… More >

Abstract CFRPs (carbon fiber reinforced plastics), as a kind of fiber-reinforced plastic, present various advantages over traditional materials regarding the specific strength, stiffness, and corrosion resistance. For this reason, CFRPs are widely used in the space industry, like satellites and space stations, which are easily subjected to the HVIs (hypervelocity impacts) threatened by space debris. In order to mitigate the damage of HVIs and protect the spatial structures, it is necessary to predict the HVI process on CFRPs. Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, as a mesh-free particle-based method, has been widely applied for modeling HVI problems… More >

Abstract A rate-dependent peridynamic ceramic model, considering the brittle tensile response, compressive plastic softening and strain-rate dependence, can accurately represent the dynamic response and crack propagation of ceramic materials. However, it also considers the strain-rate dependence and damage accumulation caused by compressive plastic softening during the compression stage, requiring more computational resources for the bond force evaluation and damage evolution. Herein, the OpenMP parallel optimization of the rate-dependent peridynamic ceramic model is investigated. Also, the modules that compute the interactions between material points and update damage index are vectorized and parallelized. Moreover, the numerical examples are More >

Abstract High Performance Computing (HPC) technologies are emphasizing to increase the system performance across many disciplines. The primary challenge in HPC systems is how to achieve massive performance by minimum power consumption. However, the modern HPC systems are configured by adding the powerful and energy efficient multi-cores/many-cores parallel computing devices such as GPUs, MIC, and FPGA etc. Due to increasing the complexity of one chip many-cores/multi-cores systems, only well-balanced and optimized parallel programming technique is the solution to provide substantial increase in performance under power consumption limitations. Conventionally, the researchers face various barriers while parallelizing their… More >

Abstract The Global-Regional Integrated forecast System (GRIST) is the nextgeneration weather and climate integrated model dynamic framework developed by Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. In this paper, we present several changes made to the global nonhydrostatic dynamical (GND) core, which is part of the ongoing prototype of GRIST. The changes leveraging MPI and PnetCDF techniques were targeted at the parallelization and performance optimization to the original serial GND core. Meanwhile, some sophisticated data structures and interfaces were designed to adjust flexibly the size of boundary and halo domains according to the variable accuracy in parallel context. More >

Abstract In this study, an improvement technique of convergence property of Communication Avoiding (CA) Kyrlov subspace method is proposed, and parallelization efficiencies of CA Krylov subspace method is numerically investigated. As is known that most of all the procedures of the Krylov subspace method are constituted by addition of vectors, inner products and multiplication of matrices and vectors. These operations are very easy to derive a parallelization efficiency. However, the candidate coefficient matrices of linear system obtained from the numerical analysis such as Finite Element Method are large sparse matrices, and communications occur between Processing Units… More >

Abstract We present a high performance modularly-built open-source software - OpenIFEM. OpenIFEM is a C++ implementation of the modified immersed finite element method (mIFEM) to solve fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems. This software is modularly built to perform multiple tasks including fluid dynamics (incompressible and slightly compressible fluid models), linear and nonlinear solid mechanics, and fully coupled fluid-structure interactions. Most of open-source software packages are restricted to certain discretization methods; some are under-tested, under-documented, and lack modularity as well as extensibility. OpenIFEM is designed and built to include a set of generic classes for users to adapt More >

Abstract Extensible Markup Language (XML) is commonly employed to represent and transmit information over the Internet. Therefore, how to effectively search for keywords of massive XML data becomes a new issue. In this paper, we first present four properties to improve the classical ILE algorithm. Then, a kind of parallel XML keyword search algorithm, based on intelligent grouping to calculate SLCA, is proposed and realized under MapReduce programming model. At last, a series of experiments are implemented on 7 datasets of different sizes. The obtained results indicate that the proposed algorithm has high execution efficiency and More >

Abstract In this work, a corrected three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics (CSPH-3D) method is proposed to simulate the polymer free surface flows in the filling process based on the eXtended Pom-Pom (XPP) model, and some complex deformation phenomena are also numerically predicted. The proposed CSPH-3D method is mainly motivated by a coupled concept that an extended kernel-gradient-corrected SPH (KGC-SPH) method is used in the interior of fluid flow and the traditional SPH (TSPH) method is used near the boundary domain. The present 3D particle method has higher accuracy and better stability than the TSPH-3D method. Meanwhile, a… More >

Abstract This paper describes the parallelization of contact/impact simulation for fracture modeling of brittle materials using a node separation scheme (NSS). We successfully demonstrated the fracture modeling of brittle materials using a cohesive fracture model. Since a NSS continuously generates new free surfaces as the computation progresses, the methodology requires increased computational time. To perform a simulation within a reasonable time period, a parallelization study is conducted. Particular methods for effective parallelization, especially for brittle materials, are described in detail. The crucial and most difficult strategy is the management of the data structure and communication needed More >
