# Symbolically generated GPU-based LBM

Experimental generation of OpenCL kernels using SymPy, Mako and PyOpenCL.

* Implements a straight forward AB pattern
* All memory offsets are statically resolved
* Underlying symbolic formulation is optimized using CSE
* Characteristic constants of D2Q9 and D3Q27 are transparently recovered using only discrete velocities

## Performance

Theoretical maximum performance on tested hardware:

| GPU    | Bandwidth   | D2Q9   |   | D3Q19  |   | D3Q27  |   | 
| ------ | ----------- | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
|   |        | single | double | single | double | single | double | 
| K2200  | 63.2 GiB/s  | 893    | 459    | 435    |  220   |  308   | 156    |
| P100   | 512.6 GiB/s | 7242   | 3719   | 3528   | 1787   | 2502   | 1262   |
