Designing Tomorrow's Algorithms on Today's Architectures: a Case Study with Stencil Computations Using AMD 3D V-Cache™ Technology

Regular stencil computations constitute the main core kernel in many temporally explicit approaches for structured grid finite-difference, finite-volume, and finite-element discretizations of partial differential equation conservation laws. For various blocking dimensions, the Spatial Blocking (SB) approach enables data reuse within multiple cache levels. However, the straightforward generalization of SB to manycore architectures, with each core owning an exclusive share of cache may leave performance on the table. The next two figures show the typical 25-point 3D star stencil used in seismic
