Scalability Improvements for DFT Codes due to the Implementation of the 2D Domain Decomposition Algorithm
We will present part of the work carried out by CINECA in the framework of the PRACE-2IP project aimed to study the effect on performance due to the implementation of a 2D Domain Decomposition algorithm in DFT codes that usestandard 1D (or slab) Parallel Domain Decomposition. The performance of this new algorithm are tested on two example applications: Quantum Espresso and the CFD code BlowupNS.
