February 2025 Monthly Summary for amrvac/AGILE-experimental: Delivered GPU-accelerated ghost cell update loop with a refactor to improve simulation throughput and scalability. The update path was migrated to the GPU using OpenACC directives, with the loop parallelized and computations offloaded to the device. A helper function was inlined and ghost cell values are assigned directly on the device, reducing CPU-GPU transfers and synchronization overhead. Commit reference: 67c6a57137f1ac345dfd673689722723f5a7a51b (WIP: Move ghostcell update loop to GPU). No major bugs were documented this month; the focus was on performance optimization and enabling scalable GPU execution.

January 2025 focused on stabilizing the NVIDIA_acc build configuration in amrvac/AGILE-experimental. Delivered a targeted bug fix that restores optimization flags for the NVIDIA accelerator path and cleanly separates the debug build configuration into a dedicated file (nvidia_accdebug.defs). This improves build reliability, debugging efficiency, and maintainability across CI and developer workflows. The change reduces misconfiguration risk while preserving strong performance tuning capabilities and sets groundwork for easier future enhancements.
