Accelerating GNNs on GPU Sparse Tensor Cores through N:M Sparsity-Oriented Graph Reordering

Recent advancements in GPU hardware support have introduced the capability to leverage N:M sparse patterns for substantial performance gains. Graphs in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are typically sparse, but the sparsity is often irregular, not conforming to such sparse patterns. In this paper, we propose a novel graph reordering algorithm, the first of its kind, to reshape irregular graph data into the N:M structured sparse pattern at the tile level, allowing linear-algebra-based graph operations in GNNs to benefit from the N:M sparse hardware. The optimization is lossless, maintaining the accuracy of GNN. It can remove 98-100\% violations of the N:M sparse patterns at the vector level, and increase the proportion of conforming graphs in SuiteSparse collection from 5-9\% to 88.7-93.5\%. On A100 GPUs, the optimization accelerates Sparse Matrix Matrix (SpMM) by up to 43X (2.3X -- 7.5X on average) and speeds up the key graph operations in GNNs on real graphs by as much as 8.6X (3.5X on average).

Enabling Scientific Applications with Performance-Portability and High-Productivity for Multi-GPU Programming with JACC.Multi

This work bridges the gap between multi-GPU computing and high-productivity, performance-portable programming solutions. Our goal is to enhance scientific applications with a productive and portable solution—program once, deploy everywhere—for multi-GPU programming with no cost to programmability. To accomplish this, we implemented JACC.Multi, which is part of the Julia for ACCelerators (JACC) performance-portable framework. JACC. Multi is the only high-level, portable metaprogramming solution that targets multi-GPU environments and is integrated in a readily accessible programming language (e.g., Julia language). With transparent GPU-to-GPU communication, JACC. Multi is optimized for scientific application workloads and is portable for NVIDIA and AMD accelerators. For the evaluation, we use two modern multi-GPU systems: Hudson, which features two NVIDIA H100 Hopper GPUs per node, and Frontier, which features four AMD MI250X GPUs per node, each with two Graphics Compute Dies (GCDs) for a total of eight GCDs per node. Additionally, as part of the evaluation, we use JACC (one GPU), MPI+JACC, and JACC. Multi codes that implement well-known and widely used scientific algorithms/kernels such as the conjugate gradient algorithm and an explicit forward Euler solver that requires GPU-to-GPU communication. Overall, JACC. Multi codes achieve better performance than MPI+JACC codes and significant speedups over JACC (one GPU), with up to 1.9× on Hudson and 6× on Frontier.

Dual Channel Dual Staging: Hierarchical and Portable Staging for GPU-Based In-Situ Workflow

In-situ workflows have emerged as an attractive approach for addressing data movement challenges at very large scales. Since GPU-based architectures dominate the HPC landscapes, porting these in-situ workflows, and, specifically, the inter-application data exchange, to GPU-based systems can be challenging. Technologies such as GPUDirect RDMA (GDR), which is typically used for I/O in GPU applications as an optimization that circumvents the CPU overhead, can be leveraged to support bulk data exchanges between GPU applications. However, current GDR design often lacks performance portability across HPC clusters built with different hardware configurations. Furthermore, the local CPU may also be effectively used as an auxiliary communication mechanism to offload data exchanges. In this paper, we present a dual channel dual staging approach for efficient, scalable, and performance-portable inter-application data exchange for in-situ workflows. This approach exploits the data access pattern within in-situ workflows along with the inherent execution asynchrony to accelerate data exchanges and, at the same time, improve performance portability. Specifically, the dual channel dual staging method leverages both the local CPU and the remote data staging server to build a hierarchical joint staging area and uses this staging area to transform blocking inter-application bulk data exchanges into best-effort local data movements between GPU and CPU. The dual channel dual staging is implemented as a portability extension of the Dataspaces-GPU staging framework. We present an experimental evaluation of its performance, portability, and scalability using this implementation on three leadership GPU clusters. The evaluation results demonstrate that the dual channel dual staging method saves up to 75% in data-exchange time compared to host-based, GDR, and alternate portable designs, while maintaining scalability (up to 512 GPUs) and performance portability across the three platforms.

A GPU Accelerated Mixed‐Precision Finite Difference Informed Random Walker (FDiRW) Solver for Strongly Inhomogeneous Diffusion Problems

In nature, many complex multi‐physics coupling problems exhibit significant diffusivity inhomogeneity, where one process occurs several orders of magnitude faster than others temporally. Simulating rapid diffusion alongside slower processes demands intensive computational resources due to the necessity for small time steps. To address these computational challenges, we have developed an efficient numerical solver named Finite Difference informed Random Walker (FDiRW). In this study, we propose a GPU‐accelerated, mixed‐precision configuration for the FDiRW solver to maximize efficiency through GPU multi‐threaded parallel computation and lower precision computation. Numerical evaluation results reveal that the proposed GPU‐accelerated mixed‐precision FDiRW solver can achieve a 117× speedup over the CPU baseline, while an additional 1.75× speedup is achieved by employing lower precision GPU computation. Notably, for large model sizes, the GPU‐accelerated mixed‐precision FDiRW solver demonstrates strong scaling with the number of nodes used in simulation. When simulating radionuclide absorption processes by porous wasteform particles with a medium‐sized model of 192 × 192 × 192, this approach reduces the total computational time to 10 min, enabling the simulation of larger systems with strongly inhomogeneous diffusivity.

A GPU-based compressible combustion solver for applications exhibiting disparate space and time scales

High-speed chemically active flows pose significant computational challenges due to their disparate space and time scales, with stiff chemistry often dominating simulation time. While modern scientific computing programs achieve exascale performance by leveraging graphics processing units (GPUs), existing GPU-based compressible combustion solvers face critical limitations in memory management, load balancing, and handling the highly localized nature of chemical reactions. To this end, we present a high-performance compressible reacting flow solver built on the AMReX framework and optimized for multi-GPU settings. Here, our approach addresses three GPU performance bottlenecks: memory access patterns through column-major storage optimization, computational workload variability via a bulk-sparse integration strategy for chemical kinetics, and multi-GPU load distribution for adaptive mesh refinement applications. The solver adapts existing matrix-based chemical kinetics formulations to multi-grid contexts. Using representative combustion applications, including 2D and 3D detonations and a 3D jet-in-crossflow configuration, we demonstrate 1.4–5× performance improvements over initial implementations on an in-house cluster of NVIDIA H100 GPUs, and near-ideal weak scaling on the Frontier supercomputer (Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility) with up to 1024 AMD Instinct MI250X GPUs. Roofline analysis reveals substantial improvements in arithmetic intensity for both convection (∼ 10 ×) and chemistry (∼ 4 ×) routines, confirming efficient utilization of GPU memory bandwidth and computational resources.

DEM Modeling and Validation of Pebble Bed Packing Using Chrono::GPU

Accurate prediction of pebble packing structure is important for pebble bed reactors because the spatial distribution of void fraction directly affects coolant flow, pressure drop, heat transfer, and neutronic behavior. However, experimentally validated DEM studies that directly evaluate local void-fraction structure in reactor-relevant pebble beds remain limited. In this work, the pebble bed experiment conducted at Missouri University of Science and Technology is simulated using the graphics processing unit (GPU)-based discrete element method (DEM) code Chrono::GPU. The study focuses on evaluating the ability of Chrono::GPU to reproduce the packing arrangement and void-fraction distribution of a randomly packed spherical pebble bed. The DEM results are first verified against established radial void-fraction correlations, including the Mueller and Vortmeyer-Schuster models, to assess the predicted bulk porosity, near-wall behavior, and oscillatory packing structure. The simulation is then verified against reference DEM data and validated against gamma-ray computed tomography (CT) experimental data at three axial locations. The Chrono::GPU results reproduce the main features of the experimental packing, including the high void fraction near the wall, the first near-wall trough, and the damped oscillatory radial profile caused by wall-induced ordering. Quantitative comparison with DEM data and the CT-based radial profiles shows good agreement, with mean absolute errors on the order of 0.07 and root-mean-square errors below 0.09 for the averaged profiles. These results demonstrate that Chrono::GPU can accurately capture the void-fraction structure of spherical pebble beds and provides a reliable DEM framework for future pebble bed reactor packing, recycling, and thermal-hydraulic studies.

Profile Generation for GPU Targets

GPU accelerators are ubiquitous, but their ecosystem is far less evolved than the host one. Compiler heuristics are often tuned for CPUs and reused for GPU. Similarly, tooling and more evolved optimization techniques are historically not available on GPU targets. In this work, we address one of these shortcomings and enable profile generation and profile-guided optimizations (PGO) for GPU targets. While this is only a single step towards a CPU equivalent ecosystem for offload devices, it shows how old misconceptions on the limitations of GPUs are often not warranted anymore. Through our implementation in LLVM/Offload, we enable device-side PGO for full scientific applications and open up tooling opportunities, including code coverage analysis and compiler-built-in roofline analysis. Our evaluation highlights the performance implications of profile generation, the insights gained from these profiles, and the (missed) opportunities in utilizing the information for GPU compilation.

SAIGE-GPU: accelerating genome- and phenome-wide association studies using GPUs

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) at biobank scale are computationally intensive, especially for admixed populations requiring robust statistical models. SAIGE is a widely used method for generalized linear mixed-model GWAS but is limited by its CPU-based implementation, making phenome-wide association studies impractical for many research groups. We developed SAIGE-GPU, a GPU-accelerated version of SAIGE that replaces CPU-intensive matrix operations with GPU-optimized kernels. The core innovation is distributing genetic relationship matrix calculations across GPUs and communication layers. Applied to 2068 phenotypes from 635 969 participants in the Million Veteran Program, including diverse and admixed populations, SAIGE-GPU achieved a 5-fold speedup in mixed model fitting on supercomputing infrastructure and cloud platforms. We further optimized the variant association testing step through multi-core and multi-trait parallelization. Deployed on Google Cloud Platform and Azure, the method provided substantial cost and time savings. Source code and binaries are available for download at https://github.com/saigegit/SAIGE/tree/SAIGE-GPU-1.3.3. A code snapshot is archived at Zenodo for reproducibility (DOI: [10.5281/zenodo.17642591]). SAIGE-GPU is available in a containerized format for use across HPC and cloud environments and is implemented in R/C++ and runs on Linux systems.

Accelerating Neutrino Event Generation in MARLEY Using CUDA-Based RNG and GPU Parallelization

MARLEY is a simulation tool that helps scientists study how low-energy neutrinos interact with matter. To work properly, MARLEY uses random numbers thousands of times in each simulation. These random numbers are important for modeling things like how neutrinos collide with atoms and what particles they produce. Right now, MARLEY runs on a regular computer processor (CPU) and uses a built-in random number generator called the Mersenne Twister. This setup works, but it can be slow, especially when trying to simulate many events. This research focuses on making MARLEY run faster by moving the random number generation and some of the repetitive calculations from the CPU to a graphics processing unit (GPU), which can handle many tasks at the same time. We use CUDA (a tool for programming NVIDIA GPUs) and cuRAND (a GPU-based random number library) to test faster alternatives to the current random number system. We compare different GPU-based generators, like curand_mtgp32, xorwow, and philox, to see which ones are the quickest and still give reliable results. Early tests show that using the GPU can make MARLEY simulations much faster. This project not only helps improve current simulation performance but also moves closer to a full simulation chain where all stages can run on modern GPU hardware.

Introducing GPU Acceleration into the Python-Based Simulations of Chemistry Framework

We introduce the first version of GPU4P Y SCF, a module that provides GPU acceleration of methods in P Y SCF. As a core functionality, this provides a GPU implementation of two-electron repulsion integrals (ERIs) for contracted basis sets comprising up to g functions using the Rys quadrature. As an illustration of how this can accelerate a quantum chemistry workflow, we describe how to use the ERIs efficiently in the integral-direct Hartree–Fock build and nuclear gradient construction. Benchmark calculations show a significant speedup of 2 orders of magnitude with respect to the multithreaded CPU Hartree–Fock code of P Y SCF and the performance comparable to other open-source GPU-accelerated quantum chemical packages, including GAMESS and QUICK, on a single NVIDIA A100 GPU.

Wattchmen: Watching the Wattchers – High Fidelity, Flexible GPU Energy Modeling

Modern GPU-rich HPC systems are increasingly becoming energy-constrained. Thus, understanding an application’s energy consumption becomes essential. Unfortunately, current GPU energy attribution techniques are either inaccurate, inflexible, or outdated. Therefore, we propose Wattchmen, a flexible methodology for measuring, attributing, and predicting GPU energy consumption. We construct a per-instruction energy model using a diverse set of microbenchmarks to systematically quantify the energy consumption of GPU instructions, enabling finer-grain prediction and energy consumption breakdowns for applications. Compared with the state-of-the-art systems like AccelWattch (32%) and Guser (25%), across 16 popular GPGPU, graph analytics, HPC, and ML workloads, Wattchmen reduces the mean absolute percent error (MAPE) to 14% on V100 GPUs. Furthermore, we show that Wattchmen provides similar MAPEs for water-cooled V100s (15%) and extends to later architectures, including air-cooled A100 (11%) and H100 (12%) GPUs. Finally, to further demonstrate Wattchmen ’s value, we apply it to applications such as Backprop and QMCPACK, where Wattchmen ’s insights enable energy reductions of up to 35%.

Practical Implementation of GPU-based Computing at the Grid Edge for Resilience Scenarios

This paper presents a practical implementation of GPU-accelerated computing at the grid edge to enhance power system resilience through next-generation smart meters. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) systems rely predominantly on centralized processing architectures, which limit real-time response capabilities during grid disturbances. This work proposes the integration of GPU-enabled computational platforms directly within smart meter to enable local execution support for power system analytics, fault detection algorithms, and optimization routines. The proposed framework uses the Julia programming language to leverage highperformance parallel computing capabilities while maintaining code portability and development efficiency. We use two experimental scenarios to benchmark the computational feasibility of this approach: sparse linear system solutions representative of power flow analyses, and multi-stage production cost simulations incorporating unit commitment and economic dispatch operations. Results demonstrate that computationally intensive power system algorithms, such as those supporting resilience scenario calculations, can be effectively executed at the distribution edge using commercially available embedded GPU hardware. Keywords—GPU acceleration, edge computing, smart meters, grid resilience, AMI, resilience.

GPU-accelerated kinetic Hall thruster simulations in WarpX

Abstract Two-dimensional (axial-azimuthal) simulations of a Hall thruster are performed using the open-source particle-in-cell code WarpX. The simulation conditions are chosen to match those of the axial-azimuthal benchmark first reported by Charoy et al. in 2019. A range of numerical and solver parameters is investigated in order to find those which yield the best performance. It is found that WarpX completes the benchmark case in 3.8 days on an Nvidia V100 GPU, and in as low as 1.5 days on a more recent Nvidia H100 GPU. Of the numerical parameters investigated, it is determined that the field-solve tolerance and particle resampling thresholds have the largest effect on the simulation wall time and that particle resampling may artificially widen electron velocity distribution functions, leading to unphysical heating. A semi-implicit scheme for the electrostatic field solve is tested and is found to produce results consistent to within 10% of the benchmark in less than twelve hours. The scaling properties of the electrostatic solver to multiple GPUs are also assessed on a uniform plasma test problem. The results of this work are discussed in the context of advancements in GPU hardware and the suitability of kinetic Hall thruster simulations for engineering applications.

Vidyut3d: A GPU accelerated fluid solver for non-equilibrium plasmas on adaptive grids

We present the numerical methods, programming methodology, verification, and performance assessment of a non-equilibrium plasma fluid solver that can effectively utilize current and upcoming central processing and graphics processing unit (CPU+GPU) architectures, in this work. Our plasma fluid model solves the coupled conservation equations for species transport, electrostatic Poisson and electron temperature on adaptive Cartesian grids. Our solver is written using performance portable adaptive-grid/particle management library, AMReX, and is portable over widely available vendor specific GPU architectures. We present verification of our solver using method of manufactured solutions that indicate formal second order accuracy with central diffusion and fifth-order weighted-essentially-non-oscillatory (WENO) advection scheme. We also verify our solver with published literature on capacitive discharges and atmospheric pressure streamer propagation. We demonstrate the use of our solver on two 3D simulation cases: an atmospheric streamer propagation in Ar-H2 mixtures and a low pressure three-electrode radio frequency reactor. Our performance studies on three different CPU+GPU architectures indicate ~ 150-400X speed-up using AMD and NVIDIA GPUs per time step compared to a single CPU core for a 4 million cell simulation with 15 species.

Real-Time GPU-Accelerated OFDR With an Integrated Auxiliary Interferometer

A GPU-accelerated optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) system with an improved integrated auxiliary interferometer is proposed. Unlike conventional approaches that require separate auxiliary interferometers and multiple detection channels, the proposed OFDR system embeds this functionality directly into the signal via an intentional beat component. This enables self-calibration of laser nonlinearity while maintaining a cost-effective hardware configuration. Building on this simplified configuration, the system leverages GPU acceleration with an NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti to achieve real-time performance, delivering high-throughput signal processing for continuous OFDR interrogation. The signal processing pipeline comprises signal capture, resampling for nonlinearity compensation, and frequency shift computation, all optimized for parallel execution. Hardware benchmarking demonstrates substantial acceleration over CPU implementations, achieving up to a 45× speedup for resampling and frequency shift computations and enabling processing latencies below 30 ms. Thermal response validation is conducted under two complementary scenarios: localized heating using a water bath and cryogenic-temperature conditions using liquid nitrogen. Under localized heating, the system achieves an accuracy of 0.249 °C with a thermal sensitivity of 5.971 GHz/°C, while cryogenic-temperature validation demonstrates a frequency shift response with a sensitivity of 2.383 GHz/°C and an accuracy of 2.04 °C. The high acceleration of the proposed GPU-accelerated OFDR system and its accuracy are achieved by exploiting CUDA-based stride indexing, enabling efficient parallel segmentation and processing of large datasets without additional memory copies. The benchmarking results confirm the robustness, accuracy, and deployability of the proposed OFDR system across a wide temperature range, establishing it as a practical platform for real-time distributed fiber sensing in structurally dynamic environments.

Cooling Matters: Benchmarking Large Language Models and Vision-Language Models on Liquid-Cooled Versus Air-Cooled H100 GPU Systems

The unprecedented growth in artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, recently dominated by large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs), has intensified power and cooling demands in data centers. This study benchmarks LLMs and VLMs on two HGX nodes, each with 8× NVIDIA H100 graphics processing units (GPUs), using liquid and air cooling. Leveraging GPU Burn, Weights & Biases, and IPMItool, we collect detailed thermal, power, and computation data. Results show that the liquid-cooled systems maintain GPU temperatures between 41-50$^\circ$C, while the air-cooled counterparts fluctuate between 54-72$^\circ$C under load. This thermal stability of liquid-cooled systems yields 17% higher performance (54 TFLOPs/ GPU vs. 46 TFLOPs/GPU), performance-per-watt, reduced energy overhead, and greater system efficiency than the air-cooled counterparts. These findings underscore the energy and sustainability benefits of liquid cooling, offering a compelling path forward for hyperscale data centers seeking to optimize AI infrastructure. https://github.com/iscaas/Cooling-Matters.

Did You Win the GPU Cloud Lottery? Benchmarking from TFLOPS to Tokens/$

Cloud GPUs are commonly assumed to deliver consistent performance for a given GPU model. This assumption does not always hold: cloud providers employ diverse system configurations and virtualization mechanisms, and GPUs themselves exhibit non-negligible manufacturing variability (the silicon lottery). In this work, we present a large-scale measurement study of GPU performance variability across 11 cloud providers, covering over 3,500 physical GPUs and 6,800 benchmark runs. Our hierarchical analysis shows that while execution-level variation stays below 9%, performance varies by up to 38% across devices and providers for the same GPU model. Regression analysis indicates that driver- and OS-related software factors contribute less than 1% of the variance; instead, silicon lottery effects dominate observed performance variation, and cloud providers further amplify them through persistent, systematic second-order effects.
