Popis: In this paper, the OpenACC heterogeneous parallel programming model is successfully applied to modification and acceleration of the three-dimensional Tokamak magnetohydrodynamical code (CLTx). Through combination of OpenACC and MPI technologies, CLTx is further parallelized by using multiple-GPUs. Significant speedup ratios are achieved on NVIDIA TITAN Xp and TITAN V GPUs, respectively, with very few modifications of CLTx. Furthermore, the validity of the double precision calculations on the above-mentioned two graphics cards has also been strictly verified with m/n=2/1 resistive tearing mode instability in Tokamak.
