Adapting a Finite-Element Type Solver for Bioelectromagnetics to the DEEP-ER Platform

International audienceIn this paper, we report on our recent efforts towards adapting a Discon-tinuous Galerkin Time-Domain solver for computational bioelectromagnetics to the novel, heterogeneous architecture proposed in the DEEP-ER european project on exascale computing. This architecture is based on the Cluster/Booster division concept which will be recalled. As a first step, we summarize the key features of the application and present the outcomes of a profiling of the code using the tools developed by DEEP-ER partners. We then go through the subsequent general improvements of the application as well as specific developments aimed at exploiting efficiently the DEEP-ER platform. This particularly includes porting the application to the Intel (R) Many Integrated Core Architecture. We conclude with an outlook on next steps, including the different Cluster/Booster division strategies
