  • Exploiting Hardware-Accelerated Ray Tracing for Monte Carlo Particle Transport with Openmc
    Exploiting Hardware-Accelerated Ray Tracing for Monte Carlo Particle Transport with OpenMC Justin Lewis Salmon, Simon McIntosh Smith Department of Computer Science University of Bristol Bristol, U.K. fjustin.salmon.2018, [email protected] Abstract—OpenMC is a CPU-based Monte Carlo particle HPC due to their proliferation in modern supercomputer transport simulation code recently developed in the Computa- designs such as Summit [6]. tional Reactor Physics Group at MIT, and which is currently being evaluated by the UK Atomic Energy Authority for use on A. OpenMC the ITER fusion reactor project. In this paper we present a novel port of OpenMC to run on the new ray tracing (RT) cores in OpenMC is a Monte Carlo particle transport code focussed NVIDIA’s latest Turing GPUs. We show here that the OpenMC on neutron criticality simulations, recently developed in the GPU port yields up to 9.8x speedup on a single node over a Computational Reactor Physics Group at MIT [7]. OpenMC 16-core CPU using the native constructive solid geometry, and is written in modern C++, and has been developed using up to 13x speedup using approximate triangle mesh geometry. Furthermore, since the expensive 3D geometric operations re- high code quality standards to ensure maintainability and quired during particle transport simulation can be formulated consistency. This is in contrast to many older codes, which as a ray tracing problem, there is an opportunity to gain even are often written in obsolete versions of Fortran, and have higher performance on triangle meshes by exploiting the RT grown to become highly complex and difficult to maintain.

  • Release Notes for the NVIDIA® Optix™ Ray Tracing Engine
    Release Notes for the NVIDIA® OptiX™ ray tracing engine Version 3.0.0 November 2012 Welcome to the latest release of the NVIDIA OptiX ray tracing engine and SDK, with support for all CUDA-capable GPUs. This package contains the libraries required to experience the latest technology for programmable GPU ray tracing, plus pre-compiled samples (with source code) demonstrating a broad range of ray tracing techniques and highlighting basic functionality. Support: The normal path for OptiX support is on NVIDIA's Developer Zone at: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/90/ If you have any confidential concerns please send your issues directly to [email protected] and they will be addressed by the development team. You can continue to download OptiX from http://developer.nvidia.com/optix-download/ System Requirements (for running binaries referencing OptiX) Graphics Hardware: CUDA capable devices (G80 or later) are supported on GeForce, Quadro, or Tesla class products. Kepler GK104, GK107 and GK110 GPUs are now supported. Multiple devices/GPUs are only supported on “GT200”, “Fermi” and “Kepler” generation GPUs. Out-of-core ray tracing of large datasets is only supported on Quadro and Tesla GPUs. Graphics Driver: The CUDA R300 or later driver is required. The latest drivers available are highly recommended (307.4 or later for Windows, 310.19 for Linux and the CUDA 5.0 driver extension for Mac). For the Mac, the driver extension module supplied with CUDA 5.0 or later will need to be installed. Note that the Linux and Mac drivers can only be obtained from the CUDA 5.0 download page at the moment.
