2023 FAWS: FPGA Acceleration of Large-Scale Wave Simulations
abstract
Efficiently solving large-scale scientific problems described by partial differential equations (PDEs) is a critical task in high-performance computing. Application-specific hardware design is a well-known solution, but the wide range of kernels makes it infeasible to provision supercomputers with accelerators for all applications. This makes reconfigurable platforms a promising direction. In this work, we focus on wave simulations using discontinuous Galerkin solvers, as an important class of PDE applications. Existing work using FPGAs is limited to accelerating specific kernels or small problems that fit into FPGA BRAM. We present FAWS, a generic and configurable architecture for large-scale accelerated wave simulation problems running on FPGAs out of DRAM. FAWS exploits fine- and coarse-grain parallelism using a scalable array of application-specific processing cores, and incorporates novel dataflow optimizations, including prefetching, kernel fusion, and memory layout optimizations to minimize data transfers and maximize DRAM bandwidth utilization. We demonstrate FAWS on the simulation of elastic wave equations. Results show that a single FPGA core achieves 2.2x higher performance than 24 Xeon cores with 18.64x better energy efficiency, when given ~1.94x less peak DRAM bandwidth. Scaling to the same peak DRAM bandwidth, an FPGA is 4.27x and 1.96x faster than 24 CPU cores and an Nvidia P100 GPU, with 31.33x and 5.29x better efficiency, respectively.

2023 LAWS: Large-Scale Accelerated Wave Simulations on FPGAs
abstract
Computing numerical solution to large-scale scientific computing problems described by partial differential equations is a common task in high-performance computing. Improving their performance and efficiency is critical to exa-scale computing. Application-specific hardware design is a well-known solution, but the wide range of kernels makes it infeasible to provision supercomputers with accelerators for all applications. This makes reconfigurable platforms a promising direction. In this work, we focus on wave simulations using discontinuous Galerkin solvers, as an important class of applications. Existing work using FPGAs is limited to accelerating specific kernels or small problems that fit into FPGA BRAM. We present LAWS, a generic and configurable architecture for large-scale accelerated wave simulation problems running on FPGAs out of DRAM. LAWS exploits fine- and coarse-grain parallelism using a scalable array of application-specific cores, and incorporates novel dataflow optimizations, including prefetching, kernel fusion, and memory layout optimizations to minimize data transfers and maximize DRAM bandwidth utilization. We further accompany LAWS with an analytical performance model that allows for scaling across technology trends and architecture configurations. We demonstrate LAWS on the simulation of elastic wave equations. Results show that a single FPGA core achieves 69% higher performance than 24 Xeon cores with 13.27x better energy efficiency, when given 1.94x less peak DRAM bandwidth. Scaling to the same peak DRAM bandwidth shows that an FPGA is 3.27x and 1.5x faster than 24 CPU cores and an Nvidia P100 GPU, with 22.3x and 4.53x better efficiency, respectively.

2022 GAPS: GPU-acceleration of PDE solvers for wave simulation
abstract
Large-scale simulations of wave-type equations have many industrial applications, such as in oil and gas exploration. Realistic simulations, which involve a vast amount of data, are often performed on multiple nodes of an HPC cluster. Using GPUs for these simulations is attractive due to considerable parallelizability of the algorithms. Many industry-relevant simulations have characteristics in their physics or geometry that can be exploited to improve computational efficiency. Furthermore, the choice of simulation algorithm impacts computational efficiency significantly.

2022 Improving the Variational Quantum Eigensolver Using Variational Adiabatic Quantum Computing
abstract
The variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) is a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for finding the minimum eigenvalue of a Hamiltonian that involves the optimization of a parameterized quantum circuit. Since the resulting optimization problem is in general nonconvex, the method can converge to suboptimal parameter values that do not yield the minimum eigenvalue. In this work, we address this shortcoming by adopting the concept of variational adiabatic quantum computing (VAQC) as a procedure to improve VQE. In VAQC, the ground state of a continuously parameterized Hamiltonian is approximated via a parameterized quantum circuit. We discuss some basic theory of VAQC to motivate the development of a hybrid quantum-classical homotopy continuation method. The proposed method has parallels with a predictor-corrector method for numerical integration of differential equations. While there are theoretical limitations to the procedure, we see in practice that VAQC can successfully find good initial circuit parameters to initialize VQE. We demonstrate this with two examples from quantum chemistry. Through these examples, we provide empirical evidence that VAQC, combined with other techniques (an adaptive termination criteria for the classical optimizer and a variance-based resampling method for the expectation evaluation), can provide more accurate solutions than “plain” VQE, for the same amount of effort.

2021 Wave-PIM: Accelerating Wave Simulation Using Processing-in-Memory
abstract
Wave simulations are used in many applications: medical imaging, oil and gas exploration, earthquake hazard mitigation, and defense systems, among others. Most of these applications require repeated solutions of the wave equation on supercomputers. Minimizing time to solution and energy consumption are very beneficial in this domain. Data movement overhead is one of the key bottlenecks that affect energy consumption.
