Previous software projects
PASIDG: GPU accelerated tsunami modeling
Goal: predict tsunami wave propagation using discontinuous Galerkin methods on triangular meshes using the two dimensional Shallow water equations. The method uses multirate Adams-Bashforth method for time integration, a positivity preserving method, and a slope limiter for stability of the numerical scheme. The implementations use OCCA for portability across several hardware architectures and multi-threading approaches.
