We develop a multigrid preconditioned conjugate gradient (MG-CG) solver for the pressure Poisson equation in a two-phase flow CFD code JUPITER. The JUPITER code is redesigned to realize efficient CFD simulations including complex boundaries and objects based on a block-structured Cartesian grid system. The code is written in CUDA, and is tuned to achieve high performance on GPU based supercomputers. The main kernels of the MG-CG solver achieve more than 90% of the roofline performance. The MG preconditioner is constructed based on the geometric MG method with a three-stage V-cycle, and a red-black SOR (RB-SOR) smoother and its variant with cache-reuse optimization (CR-SOR) are applied at each stage. The numerical experiments are conducted for two-phase flows in a fuel bundle of a nuclear reactor. Thanks to the block-structured data format, grids inside fuel pins are removed without performance degradation, and the total number of grids is reduced to 2.26 × 109, which is about 70% of the original Cartesian grid. The MG-CG solvers with the RB-SOR and CR-SOR smoothers reduce the number of iterations to less than 15% and 9% of the original preconditioned CG method, leading to 3.1- and 5.9-times speedups, respectively. In the strong scaling test, the MG-CG solver with the CR-SOR smoother is accelerated by 2.1 times between 64 and 256 GPUs. The obtained performance indicates that the MG-CG solver designed for the block-structured grid is highly efficient and enables large-scale simulations of two-phase flows on GPU based supercomputers. |
