Title: Accelerating Lagrangian particle dispersion in the atmosphere with OpenCL across multiple platforms
Abstract: FLEXPART is a popular simulator that models the transport and diffusion of air pollutants, based on the Lagrangian approach. It is capable of regional and global simulation and supports both forward and backward runs. A complex model like this contains many calculations suitable for parallelisation. Recently, a GPU-accelerated version of the simulator (FLEXCPP) has been written in C++/CUDA. As CUDA is only supported on NVIDIA GPUs, such an implementation is tied to a single hardware vendor, and is not able to take advantage of other hardware acceleration platforms.
