Searching for geometric objects that are close in space is a fundamental component of many applications. The performance of search algorithms comes to the forefront as the size of a problem increases both in terms of total object count as well as in the total number of search queries performed. Scientific applications requiring modern leadership-class supercomputers also pose an additional requirement of performance portability, i.e. being able to efficiently utilize a variety of hardware architectures. In this paper, we introduce a new open-source C++ search library, ArborX, which we have designed for modern supercomputing architectures. We examine scalable search algorithms with a focus on performance, including a highly efficient parallel bounding volume hierarchy implementation, and propose a flexible interface making it easy to integrate with existing applications. We demonstrate the performance portability of ArborX on multi-core CPUs and GPUs, and compare it to the state-of-the-art libraries such as Boost.Geometry.Index and nanoflann.

Empirical Dynamic Modeling (EDM) is a state-of-the-art non-linear time-series analysis framework. Despite its wide applicability, EDM was not scalable to large datasets due to its expensive computational cost. To overcome this obstacle, researchers h
ave attempted and succeeded in accelerating EDM from both algorithmic and implementational aspects. In previous work, we developed a massively parallel implementation of EDM targeting HPC systems (mpEDM). However, mpEDM maintains different backends for different architectures. This design becomes a burden in the increasingly diversifying HPC systems, when porting to new hardware. In this paper, we design and develop a performance-portable implementation of EDM based on the Kokkos performance portability framework (kEDM), which runs on both CPUs and GPUs while based on a single codebase. Furthermore, we optimize individual kernels specifically for EDM computation, and use real-world datasets to demonstrate up to $5.5times$ speedup compared to mpEDM in convergent cross mapping computation.
Containers are an emerging technology that hold promise for improving productivity and code portability in scientific computing. We examine Linux container technology for the distribution of a non-trivial scientific computing software stack and its e
xecution on a spectrum of platforms from laptop computers through to high performance computing (HPC) systems. We show on a workstation and a leadership-class HPC system that when deployed appropriately there are no performance penalties running scientific programs inside containers. For Python code run on large parallel computers, the run time is reduced inside a container due to faster library imports. The software distribution approach and data that we present will help developers and users decide on whether container technology is appropriate for them. We also provide guidance for the vendors of HPC systems that rely on proprietary libraries for performance on what they can do to make containers work seamlessly and without performance penalty.
As part of the Exascale Computing Project (ECP), a recent focus of development efforts for the SUite of Nonlinear and DIfferential/ALgebraic equation Solvers (SUNDIALS) has been to enable GPU-accelerated time integration in scientific applications at
extreme scales. This effort has resulted in several new GPU-enabled implementations of core SUNDIALS data structures, support for programming paradigms which are aware of the heterogeneous architectures, and the introduction of utilities to provide new points of flexibility. In this paper, we discuss our considerations, both internal and external, when designing these new features and present the features themselves. We also present performance results for several of the features on the Summit supercomputer and early access hardware for the Frontier supercomputer, which demonstrate negligible performance overhead resulting from the additional infrastructure and significant speedups when using both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs.
Molecular Dynamics (MD) codes predict the fundamental properties of matter by following the trajectories of a collection of interacting model particles. To exploit diverse modern manycore hardware, efficient codes must use all available parallelism.
At the same time they need to be portable and easily extendible by the domain specialist (physicist/chemist) without detailed knowledge of this hardware. To address this challenge, we recently described a new Domain Specific Language (DSL) for the development of performance portable MD codes based on a Separation of Concerns: a Python framework automatically generates efficient parallel code for a range of target architectures. Electrostatic interactions between charged particles are important in many physical systems and often dominate the runtime. Here we discuss the inclusion of long-range interaction algorithms in our code generation framework. These algorithms require global communications and careful consideration has to be given to any impact on parallel scalability. We implemented an Ewald summation algorithm for electrostatic forces, present scaling comparisons for different system sizes and compare to the performance of existing codes. We also report on further performance optimisations delivered with OpenMP shared memory parallelism.
Developers of Molecular Dynamics (MD) codes face significant challenges when adapting existing simulation packages to new hardware. In a continuously diversifying hardware landscape it becomes increasingly difficult for scientists to be experts both
in their own domain (physics/chemistry/biology) and specialists in the low level parallelisation and optimisation of their codes. To address this challenge, we describe a Separation of Concerns approach for the development of parallel and optimised MD codes: the science specialist writes code at a high abstraction level in a domain specific language (DSL), which is then translated into efficient computer code by a scientific programmer. In a related context, an abstraction for the solution of partial differential equations with grid based methods has recently been implemented in the (Py)OP2 library. Inspired by this approach, we develop a Python code generation system for molecular dynamics simulations on different parallel architectures, including massively parallel distributed memory systems and GPUs. We demonstrate the efficiency of the auto-generated code by studying its performance and scalability on different hardware and compare it to other state-of-the-art simulation packages. With growing data volumes the extraction of physically meaningful information from the simulation becomes increasingly challenging and requires equally efficient implementations. A particular advantage of our approach is the easy expression of such analysis algorithms. We consider two popular methods for deducing the crystalline structure of a material from the local environment of each atom, show how they can be expressed in our abstraction and implement them in the code generation framework.
