Abstract. We discuss an implementation of adaptive fast multipole methods targeting hybrid multicore CPU-and GPU-systems. From previous experiences with the computational profile of our version of the fast multipole algorithm, suitable parts are off-loaded to the GPU, while the remaining parts are threaded and executed concurrently by the CPU. The parameters defining the algorithm affects the performance and by measuring this effect we are able to dynamically balance the algorithm towards optimal performance. Our setup uses the dynamic nature of the computations and is therefore of general character.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
