gpuFoam - Tools and extensions for GPU-accelerated OpenFOAM simulations

Overview

• gpu_chemistry - Gpu accelerated detailed chemistry model

For more details check the README section in each of the subfolders listed above.

Requirements

• C++17 supporting host compiler
• Either Nvidia cuda compiler (nvcc) version 10+
• Or AMD hip compiler (hipcc) version 5.6+
• Latest OpenFOAM foundation development release

Compilation

Everything in this folder should compile with the Allwmake script. Before running it, ensure that you have a valid OpenFOAM installation and compilers available.

• For Nvidia

  To check that you have valid compilers for the Nvidia backend

  foamRun -help
  g++ --version
  nvcc --version
  

  Then check the name of your graphics card (for example with nvidia-smi) on and go to this page to see which compute capability it has. Modify the file ./nvcpp accordingly if necessary.

  Finally, run the commands

  export GPUFOAM_BACKEND_NVIDIA=1
  ./Allwmake
  

• For AMD

  To check that you have valid compilers for the AMD backend

  foamRun -help
  g++ --version
  hipcc --version
  

  Then check the name of your graphics card and go to this page to see the matching architecture keyword. Modify the file ./hipcc if necessary.

  Finally, run the commands

  export GPUFOAM_BACKEND_AMD=1
  ./Allwmake
