VVMex

VVMex v1.0 · primary current research

A clean-start, modular C++/Kokkos redesign of the Fortran Vector Vorticity Model for GPU-resident, full-physics large-eddy simulations on heterogeneous HPC systems.

  • Modular, GPU-resident C++17/Kokkos architecture with MPI and asynchronous ADIOS2 I/O
  • LES-adapted EAMxx P3, RRTMGP radiation, and zero-copy OpenACC Noah LSM coupling
  • Hierarchical verification and validation from dry dynamics to coupled diurnal and 40-day RCE cases
  • 4.0×–24.4× end-to-end speedup on 8–64 NVIDIA H200 GPUs versus the 1024-core Fortran VVM baseline
  • large-eddy simulation
  • cloud-resolving model
  • VVM
  • GPU-resident workflow
  • performance portability
