2019-07-25Fix handling of outer boundary cellsstandaloneAdrian Kummerlaender
As we can only use a multiplicative mask to distinguish between cell types and streaming memory offsets are statically resolved the buffers have to provide a well-defined padding in both directions. Otherwise undefined data is accessed which may distort results.

2019-06-29Implement layout and memory paddingAdrian Kummerlaender
There are at least two distinct areas where padding can be beneficial on a GPU: 1. Padding the global thread sizes to support specific thread layouts e.g. (32,1) layouts require the global lattice width to be a multiple of 32 2. Padding the memory layout at the lowest level to align memory accesses i.e. some GPUs read memory in 128 Byte chunks and as such it is beneficial if the operations are aligned accordingly For lattice and thread layout sizes that are exponents of two these two padding areas are equivalent. However when one operates on e.g. a (300,300) lattice using a (30,1) layout, padding to 128 bytes yields a performance improvement of about 10 MLUPS on a K2200. Note that I am getting quite unsatisfied with how the Lattice class and its suroundings continue to accumulate parameters. The naming distinction between Geometry, Grid, Memory and Lattice is also not very intuitive.

Yields another ~5-10 MLUPS in the simple D2Q9 example. Now averaging at ~840 MLUPS for D2Q9 and ~ 400 MLUPS for D3Q19 on a K2200.

2019-06-15Add support for generating a D3Q19 kernelAdrian Kummerlaender
Note how this basically required no changes besides generalizing cell indexing and adding the symbolic formulation of a D3Q19 BGK collision step. Increasing the neighborhood communication from 9 to 19 cells leads to a significant performance "regression": The 3D kernel yields ~ 360 MLUPS compared to the 2D version's ~ 820 MLUPS.
